    I looked at this game and found Black's E pawn is the key for Black to win. Black blundered by NOT moving the E pawn forward. Eric, luck played a role in this win. It was very entertaining to watch. The key to this variation is to know when to cut and run with the material gained or the disruption made upon Black's ranks.
