Before the Zilbermints Gambit

I was looking through Lev Zilbermints' book on his line against the Euwe Defense and came across an old game of mine he had included. To think, I played this game when I didn't even know it was the Zilbermints Gambit! Or maybe I did, since Lev and I were corresponding around this time.

Anyway, this gives me the opportunity to try a new game posting format introduced by the Chess OK folks with their Aquarium software. Please let me know if this works for you.
