Tactfully forgetting it was a variant of the game, though here just before Kasparov sacced the f4 Bishop it looks like it could have come from a genuine game.

So when Sam publishes his best games he can get away with just a diagram before the Bishop sac adding, proudly, this is how I beat Kasparov.

Why has this trash variant of chess been allowed to pox up the database. If this persists then soon the people (Philistines) who like this kind of muck will soon be insisting that there is Chess 960 opening explorer.

The rather uncommon lack of comments on the games in this tournament shows how much interest there is. Champions Showdown 9LX (2023) at the moment just one, this game. The comment on Sevian vs Aronian, 2023 has been deleted.

(I wonder why the lack of interest, is it because moves like 5 0-0 in this game are illegal and their wee computers cannot handle it and without their computers for a crutch they have nothing to say because their computers cannot tell them what to say....surely not.)
