Sulskis, S. – Giri, A.

2525 2018 · Black wins (resignation, time or agreement)

French Defence, 2018: Sulskis (2525) against Giri (2780), and neither side slips. Both players post 100 % of moves rated at least "good", and the engine flags no turning point at all — no move where the evaluation swings. Play runs through long minor-piece and rook manoeuvring on the c-file, then the exchanges 31.Rxc7 Rxc7 and 41.Rxa4 Qxa4, before the queens come off with 54.Qc2 Qxc2 55.Nxc2. Black then pushes the a-pawn to a2 and the game ends on 59...Bd6+, 0-1. The takeaway: a win can come from steady accumulation, with no identifiable mistake from the opponent.
