Jun-27-21  Kasputin: the additional moves

32 Rc6 33 Qb4 Rcf6 34 Qd4 Rd6 35 Qe5 Qxe5 draw

are given in Adam Harvey's book "Colle Plays the Colle System"

Jun-27-21  Paint My Dragon: The extra moves do appear to form a more logical conclusion to the game.

Why does cg.com call it an "Indian Game: Yusupov-Rubinstein System"? It looks for all the world like a variant of the Colle System, which is presumably why it features in Harvey's book.

  fredthebear: I agree with you, <PMD>. This is a main line 5.c3 Colle-Koltanowski variation. Nowadays, the Phoenix Attack 9.b4 or 10.b4 is often played: http://www.koltanowski-phoenix.com/

The Yusupov-Rubinstein System generally plays c4 at some point or Stonewalls in the center to support Ne5. Since Black started 1...Nf6 and 2...e6, it's called an Indian System, even though 5...d5 transposes into a double queen pawn opening. Yusupov vs D Gurevich, 2005

Here's a beautiful endgame (four minute video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioT...

There are numerous opening ECO errors imported on this site. Technically speaking, this might not be one of them since Black withheld ...d5 for a bit.
