Making a home on f1 for the bishop if it needs it. Meanwhile, White
prevents the move ... f7-f6 for some time to come. Black will not play 10 ... O-O? because of 11 Bxh7+ Kxh7 12 Ng5+.
And if Black plays 10 ... Nbc6 then 11 dxc5 seems good. Therefore,
the likely moves are 10 ... Nd7 or 10 ... c4. Shaked is taking a lot of time here. He is probably considering
(1) how Black gets winning chances after 10 ... c4, and (2) whether
he should play 10 ... h6 and then castle kingside.
