Most insightful, Craig. Quite fancy getting a hold of the 1924 book now.
Looking at previous games, along the same lines, through Chessbase, Mark Hebden features prominently. I found it quite interesting that he had previously employed 5.e3 until 2006 but from then on (bar 1 occassion in 2010) he adopted 5.Qd2.
A further and more recent development seems to be a change from 10.c4 to 10.Be2, which he played against Clement Sreeves during the British in Sheffield, last year. That game didn't end well for Clement.
If Calum was aware of this game and had something planned based on it, I think it maybe went out the window with Mark's next three moves which diverged from his game in Sheffield.
