I am not entirely sure where I found this move, but if I am correct it could have been a suggestion in one of the latest Informators, or the New In Chess yearbooks. Unfortunately I do not keep records of all the moves, where I got them from! But it must have been a suggestion, which explains why you can't find any games with this move. As you might know, I use a lot of suggestions made by strong players in Informator or NIC. IMO this leads to a better quality openingbook than just taking moves from played games.
