Transpositions: From the Caro-Kann to the BDG (Update)

In my last post I gave the opening moves of the game von Hennig - van Nüss, a transposition from the Caro-Kann to the Blackmar-Diemer. Here's the complete score.

While searching for the complete score today I came across one of my old games with this variation. Indulge me.
