  offramp: Perhaps play was curtailed for some dinner or something. I would rather have played on, because there is a rather good finish in prospect:

30.Qf3 bxc3 31.e7 cxb2 32.e8Q b1Q 33.Rxb1+ Qxb1+ 34.Qf1 Qb3 35.Qxa8+ Kxa8 36.f8Q+ and wins.

32 e8Q b1Q
33 Qxa8+ Kxa8
34 F8Q+ Nb8

  Phony Benoni: Games with the Rice Gambit simply do not follow the normal principles of chess.
Nov-23-14  TheFocus: Consultation game played in Claridge's Hotel in London, England on November 16, 1900 at 10 moves an hour.
May-27-23  rwbean: 12... ♘e3 or 14... ♘d7 or 25... ♖d5 win easily

The universal remedy against the Rice Gambit is 8... ♘bd7!! and even after 8... ♗xe5 etc, 10... ♘bd7 or ♘h5 is winning.
