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.

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 game between Horvath, Dominik (white) and Dragnev, Valentin (black), played on 2025.04.02 in the AUT Bundesliga 2024-25 event, the move Kf1 is characterized by a missed opportunity to threaten, as it fails to utilize a strong attacking chance that could have been exploited earlier in the game. The move also reveals a blocked attack, as it does not take advantage of a potential weakness in black's position. By playing Kf1, Horvath neglects a chance to create a connection with his rook, which would have added more flexibility to his pawn structure. Furthermore, this move fails to provide a better escape from an upcoming attack, and instead defends an unprotected piece that is now well shielded by the pawn. Horvath had also missed the opportunity to develop this piece for active play, opting instead to use it solely for defensive purposes. Additionally, playing Kf1 blocks an opponent's potential attack, while failing to provide better protection for an underdefended piece. This move ultimately allows Dragnev to force a checkmate, and Horvath is unable to continue the game in a positive manner.
