The Chessmaster 9000 database shows 6 games that go through 5...c5. Two of those
games followed with 6.dxc5 (as in your game above), but both of them were games
with two IMs (one ended up a win for White, the other a win for Black).
The other four of those games followed with 6.a3, and all of those four ended up
a draw. Only three of those were between two GMs, and here they are.
The first one is interesting because both Kings are in the middle of the board
by move 18! The second one could have been won by Andersson, but he appeared to
blunder at the end with 52...Rc1 instead of 52...Rxd4. In the third one, Avrukh
played 17.Nf6?? instead of 17.Nxd6+, yet another example of a GM making a big
blunder (unless somebody can correct The King's analysis).
