Maybe Vorobiov´s game is the best, after all. For sure the most wild.

I have looked at number 6, as I like that Sicilian line.  2. e6.  If I get motivated, I’ll dig up an Ivanchuk game from the Kings tournament.  Or by standard, do you mean classical time controls only?

Yes, classical, but thanks anyway.
