Apr-11-23  VerySeriousExpert: I thank opponents for this game, but, sorry, I don't understand why en.wikipedia.org calls this game as Mr. Rapport's "notable game". Is 9.b3? a large intentional psychological sacrifice - a psychological gambit, like the standard line of Jerome gambit?? I think, no. It's a usual blunder, unfortunately.
Apr-11-23  VerySeriousExpert: If Wikipedia wants to have a game with unusual b2-b3 among Mr. Rapport's "notable games", then I suggest it to add the following game:

Rapport-Duda, FIDE Candidates, 2022 ( my comments of 2022 are here: Rapport vs Duda, 2022 ), which isn't C47/C46 or something else: it is C20 (Bednikova opening) by transposition: Mr. Rapport's move 8.b3 is extremely similar to 1.e4 e5 2.b3.

It's analogously to Game 2 of Ding-Nepomniachtchi WCC Match (2023), which isn't D27, it is A00 (Clemenz opening) by transposition: Mr. Ding's move 4.h3 is extremely similar to 1.h3.

An opening is a sum of positions, not a sequence of them.
