Position before 9.c5?!

Hi Jan
The move 9.c5 is surely not faulty but in my opinion bad for computer
programs. The half open a-file will never play a rule after Black's a7-a6
and the pawn thrust b4-b5 is almost never possible. And if White is going
to centralize the rooks, Black can once play a6-a5 and open the a-file in
its favour.

Kurt
