Despite the "London System" label, the game begins 1.e4 e6: a French Advance, with Firouzja (2763) pushing e5 and f4 while Erigaisi (2801) hits back with c5 and g5. Both sides castle queenside (13.O-O-O O-O-O) and the balance never breaks. The engine flags no turning point at all: 94% at-least-good moves for White, 98% for Black. After the queens come off on move 26, the rook, bishop and knight endgame grinds on until a final rook trade, and 90.b5 closes the book on a ½-½. The takeaway: a closed position handled cleanly by both players yields no swing — only a long test of patience.
