The Bunratty Riesling Gambit

Youtube recommended this video and I took an interest in it:  GM Analysis #13: Williams vs Wells: The Bunratty Riesling Gambit

However, when I analyzed the game with the computer, many of the moves from the game were a little faulty.  GM Williams seems to understand that he was playing a risky gambit line.  Rather than play the most perfect moves, he was going for his plan which he explains really well in the video.

So I think that the game is worth studying.
