Mike Serovey Defeats Carrigan

Here is a Benko Gambit Declined that I played back in December 1989. I beat a player rated 122 points above me with Black. The game was even until move number 38 when I won an isolated pawn. On the very next move White blunders away his Bishop! The complete game can be found at http://www.mikeseroveyonchess.com/Carrigan-BenkoGambitDeclined.html. Here is the game in PGN.
