Bc5 or Rc8 any good? discuss. Bc5 lets us castle. Rc8 gets our Rook into it.

[dmk]

Bc5 seems to be standard. we want to castle.

it'll probably follow 12. Bd2 after which we could do 12...Nc6 (i.e. that was a waste of a move) or 12...Qb6 - i'd prefer the latter since we're developing/allowing castle on either side, not wasting a 3rd move moving the knight, bla bla

edit to add 12...a5 is another possibility to consider

now that i think about it, 12...Nc6 13. Nxc6 bxc6 wouldn't be too bad for us at all.

bxc6 is "pawn at b7 x c6"
