Zvjaginsev, V. – Jakovenko, D.

2655 2014 · Draw

Zvjaginsev (2655) wheeled out the King’s Gambit against Jakovenko (2745) in 2014, and Black answered with the central counter-thrust 2...d5. The engine finds no turning point at all: nothing genuinely swings, despite a long, technical struggle. Both sides scored the same accuracy, 83% of moves at least good, and the balance survived the queen trade, the passed pawns and the mutual promotions with 59...f1=Q and 61.b8=Q. The ending boiled down to knight against knight, and the draw was agreed after 70.Kf4. The lesson: a wild-sounding opening can still turn into an endurance test, decided by consistency rather than by one spectacular blow.
