On your note for 10. Na4, c3 would've been a bad move if the computer had threatened your knight with the queen. Black would play b5 winning the trapped knight.
For move 15, i thought c3 was also an option.
I think my reasoning was that Be3 would be an in-between move for improving my bishops position before c3 since it has no good square to stand on on the queen side. Do you agree?
I prefer c3 to prevent to possible trade off of the dark squared bishops.
Actually, i just ran through the combination and the attempt to trade off bishops wouldn't work. So either way works, but Be3 is better.
