I also played this "game" once on ICC as black. If I knew it would turn out this
way, I would have stayed in bed.

Seems only black can try not to repeat, by trying (Bf5) Nxe4. (Qc5+) Kh1 is no
good since black plays d5. GM Luther, the commentator here, says the Poisoned
Pawn variation is rather drawish. We met Van Wely for lunch. He said our
contempt factor was not big enough (apparently he heard it said in the hall),
and said his contempt for Junior was also not big, hence the draw.
