moves 9 -10

Black B9 is an interesting move. It helps a potential Invasion at a and ensures a firmer grip on the right side.

However, I would not play it, because Black already has good invasion point at b (or c), to prevent white from getting easy point here, and it seems to be a little loose in combination with black+circle. Maybe x would be the right shape point here, but I am not sure. Well, in any case, B9 is not completely off the mark.

W10 seems to be fine too, strengthening white+circle. White might later answer an invasion at a with c, enclosing the corner, if the upper left group is alive.
