So, W. – Dominguez Perez, L.

2751 2024 · Insufficient material — draw

Exchange Slav, 2024: So (2751) against Dominguez Perez (2748), two nearly identical ratings producing a game that stays level throughout. After 5.cxd5 cxd5 the symmetrical structure invites trades, and the c-file empties completely: 24...Rxc5, 25.Rxc5, 26.Rxc8+, then the queens with 44.Qxa6 Qxa6. The engine flags no turning point at all — neither side lets the position slip, despite Black’s knight shuttling between d5 and c7. White finishes at 88% precision, Black at 83%, and the knight endgame is liquidated all the way to 65...Nxd5. The lesson: in a symmetrical structure, a draw isn’t the absence of play, it’s two defences that simply never crack.
