  egilarne: Jonathan Kinlay himself on his win against GM Torre, quoted from E Torre vs J Kinlay, 1977:

Aug-15-05 RabbitBasher:
Torre had just beaten Karpov in this line (his first loss in several years) and this was my first game vs a grandmaster, so I was a little nervous before the start. The game was adjourned and I assessed it as equal - no way for either side to make progress. I was playing over the position with my friend Robert Bellin when I say spotted the ... b2 move and started laughing - "look what happens if he allows this!". Anyway, he did allow it, much to my amazement. The analysis by Patzer2 is good. I missed a faster win, as he points out. Actually I didn't miss it, I saw it at the time - I was just trying to make sure of the win!
