Game Study: Blair Connell vs. IM Bartholomew

I found the game that IM Bartholomew played in Round 3 of the Battersea Blitz Chess Tournament rather interesting, so I composed a quick study. If you're interested feel free to take a look and let me know your criticisms & insights.

@Masquerade 6. e5?! N - questionable move. White doesn't care about development in the opening, for example, the move 12. Bb7?! - white is clearly in a hurry to make a black storm for "the illegal" trade of Bishop for knight.
@ujcn Good point, I suppose that's why the move is a novelty and one that should not be played! I updated the study with your first suggestion.
