Nakamura, Hi – Aronian, L.

2767 2014 · White wins (resignation, time or agreement)

Grünfeld, 2014: Nakamura (2767) against Aronian (2797), a game the engine flags with no turning point at all — both sides played 100 % moves rated at least "good". After 5.Bg5 Ne4 and the exchange on c3, Black grabs queenside pawns with 14...Nxa4 and 15...Nxc3 while White stacks the d-file. 20.Rxd5 trades queens into a rook-and-bishop ending where both sides push: 33...a5, 35...b3, even 38...b1=Q. White answers 39.Ra8+ and 40.Rxb1, and takes the point. The lesson: flawless accuracy doesn’t mean equality — here the pawn race decided it.
