I wouldn't be that surprised... of course any IM or GM is a chess god compared
with me, but if you think of the calculations to see the main idea at first...
And then, in the continuation after 1.Bg2, white has to leave black's queen on
the board for one more move by playing 5.Bh3+ instead of 5.NxQc7, as Uri tells
us. This is in the 9th ply, requiring some more moves to look ahead and see that
5.NxQ is wrong - this is easy to miss, at least if someone has to work it out in
the head only.
