I thought you would appreciate b5 Andy! As you (and anyone else who Likes Bon Accord on facebook) know I am trying hard to be much more fighting this tournament - no more idolising Capablanca and grovelling about waiting for the endgame!
Looking with the computer I can't understand what I did not like about ...e5 instead of ...b5. If only it were that easy in a real game - computer gives a clear edge for black!
My b5 move is probably a bit dubious as although Deep Junior gives it as a minuscule edge for black (-0.06) the evaluation creeps up even when black plays the top moves. Still must be giving black decent practical chances, although perhaps not against such a strong opponent!
