Subject: ECM 993 -- what is the correct game, and what is the correct line?

Author: Dann Corbit

After a post a few days ago about ECM 993, I decided to investigate it.
After a lengthy analysis, it seems like the "best move" leads to certain doom.
While the program and the experts seem to agree on which move to make, a move
that leads to defeat hardly seems worth the title 'best move'.

Hence, I am asking, "What game did this position come from -- I can' find it."
And I am asking (game or no game) "What is the supposed correct line?"
