The game analysis feature nicks me for the a-pawn push, an idea that I picked up from Chess Informant.
Engines usually don't like these early pawn pushes on the a- or h-files, but people keep winning with them. I've seen a bunch of top players try a5 immediately against 1.b3 and get good results, usually in blitz of course.
Nice game!
This game, annotated in Informant 124, was not blitz. I've been meeting 1.b3 with 1...a5 ever since studying it.
