Anton Guijarro, D.. – So, W..

2673 2021 · Draw

A Center Game from 2021: Anton Guijarro (2673) brings the queen out early with 3.Qxd4, So (2770) develops plainly, and the two sides castle on opposite wings. The queen trade at move eleven, 11.Qxe5, drains the position of attacking potential, and what follows is a long liquidation — rook for rook, down to 25.Rxe8+, leaving a bishop and a handful of pawns each. The engine flags no turning point at all: 93% of White’s moves were at least good, 95% of Black’s. The bishop ending closes with the Bd7-Be6 repetition and a draw. The lesson: with a symmetrical structure and clean exchanges, a split point needs no mistake from either player.
