Nepomniachtchi, I. – Tomashevsky, E.

2776 2019 · White wins (resignation, time or agreement)

A 2019 Four Knights Game: Nepomniachtchi (2776) against Tomashevsky (2718). Depth-25 analysis flagged no turning point at all — no single move that flipped the game, just a slow accumulation. White finished at 90 % of moves rated good or better, Black at 83 %, with four mistakes and six inaccuracies for Black against only five inaccuracies for White. The play stays dense after the symmetrical opening: queens come off early, then rooks and minor pieces contest the board through a long endgame settled on move sixty. The takeaway for club players: a seven-point precision gap is enough to win without a single spectacular stroke. White wins, 1-0.
