Pillsbury used to play this. I had prepared it as Black for a game against Michael Tausz about 3 years ago. I remembered there was a near refutation involving White getting pawns on d4, e4 and f4. I think Brendan must have known about that as well. The early part of the game consisted of me trying to get that position, and he trying to avoid it.

(RJ)} Rg8 {Again trying to discourage f4. (RJ)} 11.Kh1 {And again threatening it.
