In the India-chT University Zonal 2024-25 event on 2025.04.03 between Harshad S playing with white pieces versus Pranesh M playing with black pieces, the move Rd3 was made by White. This move restricts mobility, as it somewhat hinders the potential of the bishop to control key parts of the board effectively. Rd3 also results in a piece that is now relatively well defended, given its current position and the moves so far made in the game. However, this move comes at the cost of better protection for an underdefended piece on the board. Furthermore, by playing Rd3, White blocks an opponent's potential attack on other parts of the position. Despite some concerns about mobility and protection, this specific move does develop a piece that will be used in active play later in the game.

This move allowed White to potentially kick Black's king forward with their pawn, which is a significant advantage for White. It also meant that Black missed an opportunity to gain a material advantage by attacking White's pieces directly. By not doing so, Black failed to force a more dynamic game. Additionally, this move did not develop any of Black's pieces actively and instead focused on moving the king forward. The move can be seen as a somewhat passive choice for Black, allowing White to gain an initiative in the game.

In the India-chT University Zonal 2024-25 event on April 3, 2025, White player Srihari L R made a notable move, exd6, which followed a capture and eliminated an attacking piece. This move ignores a potential threat to White's position and instead focuses on developing the piece for active play. By doing so, it reveals a blocked attack, but may have missed an opportunity to exchange material for a better outcome. Furthermore, this move leads to just becoming a passed pawn, which could potentially become a strong point in the game if managed correctly. Unfortunately, this move also misses the chance to escape an attacking situation and fails to utilize a free capture opportunity that might have been more advantageous in the long run.

In the event AUT Bundesliga 2024-25 on 2025.04.02, Alexey Sarana made a move with his white pieces as Black player Koelle's opponent, Tobias Koelle. The move Nc3 is characterized by enhancing the knight's ability to exert influence across the board. By doing so, it may have overlooked a potentially stronger move that could have further developed the knight's power. Furthermore, this particular pawn move occupies a crucial square that can be used as an outpost to control key areas of the board. It also allowed Koelle to prepare for a potential counterattack by occupying an important space, which might give him more flexibility in responding to Sarana's moves. However, it is worth noting that Nc3 misses the opportunity to develop another piece earlier on.

In the India-chT University Zonal 2024-25 event on April 2, 2025, Aryan B Joshi played a move that may have been well-intentioned but ultimately had several drawbacks. Aryan's move starting with Bh6 can be seen as an attempt to threaten material gain. However, this comes at the cost of overlooking a more compelling superior threat chance on the board. Furthermore, by playing Bh6, Aryan ignored the optimal development of his bishop, instead opting for a slightly unusual choice that restricts its future mobility and flexibility. Additionally, Aryan missed out on capturing an outpost, which could have provided him with a significant strategic advantage. Moreover, he also failed to take advantage of a favorable piece exchange opportunity that could have given him a material or positional edge. It's worth noting that Aryan did pin his opponent's piece, but ultimately, this came at the expense of better protection for an underdefended piece on the board. In the grand scheme of things, Aryan's move starting with Bh6 was likely an attempt to develop one of his pieces for active play, but it may have come at a slight cost in terms of other aspects of his overall strategy.
