Karpov - Gik line

Frankly speaking, I was highly surprised with a reference to Smieszek-Bogdanov in GM Ward's Nov 2025 Dragon update https://www.chesspublishing.com/content/3/nov25.htm as 16...Qxc3? is a well known opening mistake from the game Karpov-Gik, 1968 (as White has 17.Ne2!). Both 16...Nf6 and 16...Rc8 are OK for Black instead. I'm 100% sure that GM Ward knows all this well.
