Paxton Defence

[J_D_C_]

Would anybody who knows a couple of the PP variations of the Paxton Defense be willing to post 2 or 3 of the main variations here? If so I would appreciate it very much.

The game has converged to P. Davis - H. Devlin, 1989 USA vs. GB Match, same opening, but different order of moves for most of the game.
