Grischuk, A. – Artemiev, V.

2732 2024 · Draw

Grischuk (2732) and Artemiev (2711) played a classical Queen’s Gambit in 2024: Black captured on c4, developed the bishop to b7 and took aim at the d-file. Everything turns on move 22, where 22...Bf6 is the mistake that flips the game from +0.9 to -0.8 — from a White edge to a Black one. Black followed up logically with 24...Rxd4 and 27...Rd2, traded the rooks off and collected the c5-pawn with 35...Qxc5. White survived by perpetual check, Qa8+/Qe4+ repeating until 45.Qe4+, ½-½. Accuracy: 87% for White, 93% for Black. The takeaway: one middlegame move can hand the evaluation to the opponent, and an extra pawn is worthless while your king stays exposed.
