Notes by Carl Dunn (with computer help)
Follows Larsen-Spasski, Leiden, 1970 through Blacks move 6.  Normally White
Move 7 are Qc2 or d3, also playable is d4, Nf3, and Bb5.

11.d3? (exf5)
12... Rxf2 is better
17.O-O-O ?  (Nc4 )
after 23...Qxh3 White is back in game
27.Nf1? (f4)
28.Kb1?
 

I consider this game my best email one. It was against
a worthy opponent, who made no obvious blunder. (Carl Dunn)

not a true
Gambit, and White does very well with this)
 3.Ng5 Nf6 4.d3 Nc6 (the usual moves by Black are d5, e3, and e5, with
   Nc6,d6, exd3, and e6 also seen)
 5.Nc3 e6 6.dxe4 Bb4  (Black normally plays Bc5 in this line.  However, Bb4
  was played in Szemetan-Idigoras, Mar Del Plata 1996 , 1-0, 29 , when
  Szemetan played 7.Bd3 )
 7.Bd2 0-0 8.Bd3 b6 9.0-0 Bb7 10.Nf3 Ng4 (!) (James Drebenstedt suggested
  10.f4 for White here, which seems much better.  I spent a lot of time on
  my move 10; it was difficult to find a plan.  Ng4 opens the f-file and the
  diagonal.)
11.Ne2 Bd6  ! ( believe that Black gains a small persistent advantage after
  this move pair.  )

The Cedar Rapids Open Sep28-29.
 Robert got 3 1/2, losing last round.
 I had a poor tournament 2-3, although I won the 2 from
   lower rated, and lost 3 to higher rated.  My last game
   I won by check-mate against a 1200 rated player in 16
   moves.  This is my game against Wes Ferguson, rated
   about 1950 in round 2.  I made 5 errors, 2 of them bad
   but it was essentially even for 22 moves.
