Lutz, Christopher – Bacrot, Etienne

2631 2003 · Black wins (resignation, time or agreement)

Lutz (2631) against Bacrot (2645), 2003, Philidor Defence: Black answers 2...d6 and develops quietly before the position opens up. The engine flags no turning point at all — neither side hands over the advantage in a single move; the result builds up gradually. The accuracy figures back that up: 91% of at least good moves for White, 86% for Black, and yet Black wins, 0-1. The move-quality counts tell the story: fourteen "best" moves for Bacrot against nine for Lutz, plus two White mistakes that never swing the evaluation enough to count as a hinge. Club takeaway: a higher overall accuracy means little if your opponent keeps finding the exact move when it matters.
