Alekseev,Evgeny vs. Pasman,Michael - Israel Team Championship 2025 1-0
In the Israel Team Championship 2025 on January 10, 2025, between Alekseev, Evgeny playing with white pieces versus Pasman, Michael playing with black pieces, a significant move was made by Black. Specifically, Black played Nc1. This pawn move has several implications: It forces White to respond to the potential threat of losing material, gaining tempo advantage by starting the game's dynamic early. However, it also misses an opportunity to escape the immediate attack and defends an unprotected piece at the center, allowing White to potentially take advantage. Furthermore, this development does not address a previously underdefended piece, allowing White more freedom in responding to Black's move, but instead develops the knight for active play.
