Rd3 does seem like a reasonable move but I'm not convinced its any better than Rac8. It may be more thematic but objectively speaking I'm not convinced of its superiority. Note that after Rd3 white has the interesting try Nd4. The good thing about Nd4 is that it allows white to swap black's knight thereby preventing black from playing Nd4 which would surely be strong. Black really wants the option of playing Nd4 later on as its a great outpost and would (probably) force white to play Bxd4 thereby allowing black to undouble his extra pawn. Does Evans analyse Nd4 ? > >After all this i realize that i have alot to learn
