Nimzo-Indian Defense

Caruana, F.So, W.

2804 2024 · Draw

Nimzo-Indian, 2024: Caruana (2804) against So (2757), a game where neither side cracks. White builds with 4.e3 and reroutes the knights through e2 and f4; Black answers with the standard …c5 break and the exchange on d4. The engine finds no mistake and no missed chance on either side: 91% of White’s moves are at least good, 93% of Black’s. The ending narrows to queen and bishop play until 58...Qh2+ locks in the repetition and the half point. The takeaway is plain: when both players hold this level of accuracy, there is no turning point to punish — just an honest draw, earned move by move.
