Position after 10. O-O-O

[Note move correction] After a long think, deFirmian decides in favor of the opposite-side-castling situation. Since White is set up for a pawn storm, he must go for it - deFirmian also judged that if attacks were pushed to the background after 10 O-O, Black's pieces would be able to settle on good squares and White's center would not be able to move forward flexibly. deFirmian has used an hour and 8 minutes for his first ten moves, and has only 52 minutes left for the next 30.
