张睿 (Zhāng Ruì) – 居文君 (Jū Wénjūn)
51st Chinese Chess Championship; 兴化 (Xīnghuà), December 25, 2020
Scotch Game C45

Usually, in most cases, a draw with Black is regarded as a reasonably satisfactory result, but 居文君 (Jū Wénjūn) might well regret having been the only one to draw a game with the unrated participant 张睿 (Zhāng Ruì), who, so far, had always lost. It’s not given to know what his presence actually means, as it is an unprecedented exception to Chinese strict hierarchical rules. 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Bc5 5. Be3 Qf6 6. c3 Nge7 7.
