  Breunor: This is the game in Soltis’ column today. Soltis claims 9 a7 was expecting 9 …. Rxa7 10 Bd2 with the threat of Nb5!

But white overlooked that black can let the pawn promote.

Soltis says 11 Bd2 doesn’t work because of Nxd2 12 Qxd2 Rxb2! 13 Qxb2 Bxc3 ch

Nov-24-21  tonsillolith: Probably unviable pun, based on the fact that "Gùkè" means customer in Chinese, and Firouzja has won 100% of his single game against Gukesh.
