CST was white in this game, I assume.
To be fair, that was a 3 0 game, which is extremely fast. 19. a5 is hard to
understand, 19. ... Nd2 in response is completely crushing.
The games I've seen in the past it is pretty hard to kill, and is able to create
attacks from not very much, but I wouldn't play 3 0 with it.
