The Sicilian, Chameleon variation was played.
HIARCS15 Analysis:
White: 8 inaccuracies.
Black: 5 inaccuracies.
Up until move 31 (see diagram) both players were about equal.
However, KingN made the following dubious move: 32 Qf4?!
Surely it mis-calculated the target square g5 attacking the troublesome Knight on h4?
From here, KingA was keeping its head above water but did not play the endgame so well and lost it’s slight advantage with the final result being a draw.
At move 67 I adjourned the game as both players were consistently showing an eval of 0.00.
Current score: 2 – 1 to KingN.
