If AA also moved their timings too to create the sub 2 hour connection then you won't get very far. I imagine you will have to be very persistent to get compensation since this sort of thing is quite rare in the way it played out in the way it did here.

They annoying thing is, incidentally, that I tracked the flights on the day concerned and you would have had plenty of time in Denver, the AA flight got in a bit early and the BA service was just a few metres away.
