Thanks for finding it Boris, how did you come upon it?  Any info as to who's
behind it beyond what we can read at the site?

We could all see this coming...funny, the first game I searched for wasn't in
the 2 million game database:
Miles played this, as did Andersen, etc., as Black:

1.e4 g6 2.d4 Nf6 3. e5 this is the point at which I tried the search (Nh5!?).

It only spit out one game:  giving 3... Nd5 only...

Compare this with the CM6000 database, which has several games with this
opening.  Hmmm, Dan, any comments?
