Caruana, F. – Deac, Bogdan-Daniel

2776 2025 · Insufficient material — draw

Center Game, 2025: Caruana (2776) brings the queen out early with 4.Qxd4, and Deac (2668) answers with quick development and a central push. The tension holds until the turning point: 20...Bd6 swings the evaluation from +0.8 to -0.8, handing the edge to Black. White holds on, trades queens, and steers into a rook endgame where the a- and h-pawns race on both wings. After 74.Ke4 everything is liquidated and the game is drawn. Accuracy: 86% for White, 88% for Black. The takeaway: one poorly chosen developing move can flip the sign of the evaluation, with no visible disaster on the board.
