  FSR: Why would Black resign? He has a won game, e.g. 22.Rac1 h5! 23.gxh5 Qxa4. Did he flag? Seems awfully early. Maybe the result is misrecorded as a White win rather than a Black win.

Sulava reportedly somehow won this game, as White in 1989, despite being lost in the final position. Thereafter he adopted it as Black with great success. In seven games between 1996 and 2016, he had six wins and one loss. He reached it via the move order 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.c3 Ne7 4.d4 cxd4 5.cxd4 d5.

  perfidious: <FSR>, may well be that Sulava had more talent than we give him credit for, even being a GM.
Dec-25-22  YoungEd: My thoughts match those of <FSR>. Black has a pretty straightforward winning idea--trade off the major pieces and rely on the (extra) passed d-pawn--while White has no real advantages to press. If the result is correct, maybe the score is incomplete.
