                      My Drawn Simultaneous Exhibition Game 

Against GM Alexander Zlochevskij

At 'The Chess Square 2026'

Dear readers, now I'd like to inform you briefly about my recent drawn game against the famous Grandmaster in his simultaneous exhibition in Moscow. All official materials on this event can be shown by the editors of https://moscowchess.org . After my previous drawn game against famous Grandmaster Sergey B. Smagin (later I'll tell you about this game, where 1. e2-e4 was played), where in some moments I played risky for myself, this my new draw seems to be suitable even for theoretical middlegame investigations on Pseudo-Trompowsky Opening (Pseudo-Tromp, Pseudo-Levitsky Variation). 

 Thus, here is this notable game.

 We can see that the game was always about even and that the interesting Black's attack at the end of the game has given some advantage to Black.
