11. a3 is a bit ropey as well. You're still within theory from the 1950s and 1960s with 11. Rc1 the usual move. As it's "correspondence", aren't players allowed to consult books and databases whilst playing?

Yes you can.

I just made a move after setting up the wrong position. Shoot me now!

I've also notched up a win. My opponent walking into mate in 1 was convenient, but tbh I think the position had already gone for him.
True glory lies in doing what deserves to be written; in writing what deserves to be read.
