Aronyak Ghosh vs. Jain,Kushagra - 2nd Namma Bengaluru Open-A 2025 1-0
In the 2nd Namma Bengaluru Open-A 2025 chess match between Aronyak Ghosh (White) and Jain,Kushagra (Black), on April 10, 2025, Black played the move gxh3. This move effectively neutralizes an attacking piece by eliminating its potential threat. By giving up a pawn, Black sacrifices material to avoid a stronger attack. However, in doing so, they miss out on an opportunity to develop a key piece and potentially gain a strategic advantage. Nevertheless, this move allows for the free movement of the knight, which can become active in the game's progression. Despite not capturing a potential free capture opportunity, Black chooses to maintain control over the h-file. This unusual choice might be attributed to just becoming a passed pawn, rather than using it as leverage for further gains.
