MichaelJHuman: Trying to correlate the game to the book, looks like 39. b5, might be the move where Bruce says 'That was a mistake.' I base that on it being a pawn push to the 5th rank, and my own chess program showing an increase in black's score after the move. Before 39. b5, Sigma showed ...

| |
|
MichaelJHuman: I know someone mentioned it, but this does remind me of Bloodgood, and the Grob opening. But I suspect Sloan is much better than Bloodgood. Of course we don't really know what Bloodgood's real rating would be. Anyway, I am a total patzer, and entertained by wins from ...

MichaelJHuman: I heard this referred to the Magnus Smith trap.

MichaelJHuman: I could find nothing wrong with

| |
|
MichaelJHuman: 24...g5 seems to block the pawn advance?
Even if black allowed the pawn advance, 25...Nd7 looks solid?

MichaelJHuman: Isn't ICCF correspondence chess? Which would make it unlikely it was due to loss on time.
