Shankland, S. – Le, Quang Liem

2683 2024 · Black wins (resignation, time or agreement)

Queen’s Gambit Declined, 2024: Shankland (2683) versus Le Quang Liem (2731). After 4.cxd5 exd5 the game turned into a long heavy-piece middlegame and then a queen ending where Black pushed the d-pawn. The turning point came late: 52.Qc4 swung the evaluation from +1.3 to +3.1 from White’s side, and the trade 53.Qxc2 dxc2 let that c-pawn run. Black cashed in with 60...c1=Q, liquidated, and then hunted the remaining pawns with king and knight. Accuracy: White 86%, Black 94%. The takeaway: in queen endings one imprecise move is enough to flip the result entirely.
