Dreev, Alexey – Cramling, Pia

2704 2005 · White wins (resignation, time or agreement)

Benko Gambit, 2005: Dreev (2704) has White against Cramling (2481). After 4.cxb5 a6 White sidesteps the main lines with 5.b6, and the game quickly becomes a piece battle: 6...Nxd5 7.Nxd5 exd5 8.Qxd5 clears the centre while Black regains the b6-pawn. The engine flags no turning point at all — no single blunder, no missed chance. White finishes at 96% of moves rated at least good, Black at 90%, and that steady gap decides the game 1-0. The takeaway: when nothing collapses, a small but constant edge in accuracy is still enough to win.
