I came across your blog the other day, with a guest post from candidate master Lev Zilbermintz showing a win against me with Black in the Philidor Counter Gambit in a correspondence game.
For the sake of fairness and accuracy, I would like to point out that this game was an anomaly. Lev chose to share this game while neglecting to show the games in which I beat him easily in the same opening. He is a big proponent of this variation, which I consider highly dubious. My attempt to "refute" this line with 7.Bd3 was misguided. The natural 7.Nxd4 instead leads to a positionally winning endgame for White. To avoid misleading your readers, I'd like to see the White wins published as well.
