Zvjaginsev, V. – Tomashevsky, E.

2642 2014 · Draw

A King’s Gambit from 2014: Zvjaginsev (2642) offers the pawn, Tomashevsky (2695) hits back in the centre with 2...d5, and the game calms down fast. The bishops come off in the middle of the board, both queens settle on the e-file, and once a pair of rooks is traded the position is dead level. The engine flags no turning point at all — nobody loses the thread, nobody misses a chance. White plays 92% at least good moves, Black 87%, and the finish simply loops: Black’s knight shuttles between d5 and f4 while White’s queen rocks between e2 and e3. Draw by repetition. Club takeaway: sound defence plus clean trades defuses a gambit.
