White would like to castle too, but 10.0-0 would lose the d-pawn. So first he plays 10.c3. Now was the time to try to prevent white castling. How about 10...Re8?

If now 11.0-0 then black has 11...Qe4!

It was used some ten years later in Schlechter vs Marshall, 1903, where white played 11.Kf2 g5 12.Be5 and the game ended as draw.
