According to my Fritz, 5...Be7 is an improvement by Hamish on the game below, although the end result was the same, Hamish took one and a half moves less to complete the job.

g4 is a much more fun weakening pawn move.

Phenomenal tournament by Neil.

That game is quite fun. I see his opponent has tried to copy Jobava, with this d4 Nc3 Bf4 set up. It reminds me of a time I tried to copy Kamsky in the opening and when I tried to use this reason to justify my choice to my 2600 opponent, he just replied "yes, but you are not Kamsky". So true.
