Sadhwani, Raunak – Grischuk, A.

2619 2022 · Draw

Advance French, closed lines: Sadhwani (2619) against Grischuk (2742) in 2022. White builds the pawn chain with 3.e5 and 4.c3, Black answers with the standard pressure on d4, until 10.Bxf5 exf5 reshapes the black structure. The engine flags no turning point: 100% of White’s moves at least "good", 94% for Black, with a single inaccuracy that costs nothing. The queen trade with 16...Qxd1 and 17.Rfxd1 drains the position of attacking resources, and 18.h5 closes the game as a draw. The takeaway: in these structures, clean play from both sides leads naturally to a split point — you won’t always find a turning point to blame.
