Granda Zuniga, Julio E – Salgado Lopez, Ivan

2664 2013 · Draw

A classical Grünfeld from 2013: Granda Zuniga (2664) against Salgado Lopez (2614). The queens come off early with 12...Qxd2+ 13.Rxd2, and the game turns into patient rook-and-minor-piece work. The engine flags no turning point at all — neither side ever lets the evaluation slip. The accuracy figures back that up: 89% of White’s moves at least good, 94% of Black’s, with the draw arriving after 35.Rc7 Rxe5. The lesson: a game without a swing isn’t a game without substance. Both players simply declined to play the approximate move in a structure where one misplaced rook is enough to change everything.
