Why not 17 b#e5 ?
Why resign ?

Crazyrook Radjabov plays it frequently and he's 2770+ FIDE. Also Khachiyan has a number of games he's won with this opening in his video archive against IMs and GMs.

Dear GM Khachiyan,
There're no games in the pgn. Could you please fix it? Incidentally, do you play the Jaenisch when you need a draw? I think it's nearly impossible to employ this opening to win on GM-level.

Am I the only one who can't load the .pgn file?

Today GM Khachiyan reviews the "other main line" in the Schliemann outside of 4.Nc3. When white wants to choose a more positional approach, 4.d3 is the way to go! Melik displays the critical ideas in this line while reviewing a game that won him Game of the Week honors in the US Chess League. Enjoy the middlegame fireworks as much as the opening advice.

He began coaching early in his career and has brought up three Junior World Champions (among them Levon Aronian).
