Nakamura vs Aronian, 2018

Sep-04-18  lentil: KID? Grunfeld?
Sep-04-18  whiteshark: <lentil> Clearly a GID.

The problem of misclassification GIDs for KID games was well-known to <cg.com> for years but for some reason of low priority.

The tragic changes six weeks ago will not speed up the resolution of this bug.

Oct-05-18  PJs Studio: GID/KID complex so very similar. My opinion is, if black ever plays ...d5 in one move it’s GID. If he plays after ...d6, then it’s more KID

This game is (imo) GID
