Black wins
Black never allowed a single tactical outburst; it constricted White move by move until the position suffocated itself. The final zugzwang is a positional chess textbook in miniature.

Black's rook storms onto f2, and the bind that had been building for twenty moves finally bites.
Move 24 · Bd3
The bishop on d3 dominates: it attacks b1, c2 and e2, while every other black piece stands on the perfect square. White has no constructive move left.
Move 25 · h6
There were no sacrifices and no brilliancies — only twenty-five moves of quiet constriction. Black proved that in chess, the most brutal attack is sometimes the one that never comes.
