  An Englishman: Good Evening: Quick and insane. 9...e5 begins the festivities, and can't help but wonder if White didn't realize that he played much of the game down a Rook.

  FSR: Dubov is amazing. He plays these games against super-GMs as if he's Naka playing some 2300 for whom he has utter contempt.
