Alexieva,Silvia vs. Birkholz,Olga - European Senior Chess-ch 2024 1/2-1/2

In the game between Silvia Alexieva and Olga Birkholz during the European Senior Chess Championship 2024 on October 29, the move Ne2 played by Black is notable for several reasons. This move establishes a strong position on an important square, effectively controlling a key outpost that can influence the game. However, it also overlooks a chance to evade an impending attack, leaving Black vulnerable. Additionally, while this move creates a tactical opportunity by attacking multiple pieces simultaneously, it fails to capitalize on the potential for further piece development. Ultimately, Ne2 serves to enhance the activity of Black's pieces, contributing to a more dynamic position on the board.
