Petrosian vs Keres First Piatigorsy Cup 1963 both of the games they played ended in a draw, maybe they already decided to play for a draw from the first move as the games ended in no more than 30 moves.
Keres and Petrosian shared first place 8.5/14 with Najdorf 7.5/14 in third.

"A player can sometimes afford the luxury of an inaccurate move, or even a definite error, in the opening or middlegame without necessarily obtaining a lost position. In the endgame ... an error can be decisive, and we are rarely presented with a second chance."
