Game worth replaying many times

In 2002 August, a Vietnam team visited China for friendly matches, and the first city the team arrived was Guangzhou. The visitors were known to be quite strong, as in 1998 during the 10th Asian Cup tournament's final, the Vietnamese drew their 3 games with the Chinese team which included GM Lu Qin and GM Xu Yinchuan, the "Two Heroes of Lingnan". Two years later, in the 11th Asian Cup, the teams met once more in the final.

Here is the game played on 7th of August, in Guangzhou Cultural Park. Playing Red was Xu Yinchuan, playing Black was Thanh A Sang. A high quality contest worth replaying many times to learn the lesson.
