FHBradley: Since when have 1 e4 c6 2 d4 d5 3 e5 c5!? been known as the "Arkell-Khenkin line in Caro-Kann"? I learned on my mother's knee that it's the Botvinnik-Carls variation, or defence, or gambit.

| |
|
FHBradley: The funny thing is that, according to the chessgames database, Keres and Verbac played almost exactly the same game six years later in Berlin, the only difference being that in that later game Verbac resigned after 14 Qh6+. He had learned his lesson.
