Artemiev,Vladislav vs. Praggnanandhaa R - CCT Chessable Masters Playoffs 2025 1/2-1/2
In the CCT Chessable Masters Playoffs 2025 event on 2025.02.18, Vladimir Artemiev played g3 with white pieces against Praggnanandhaa R with black pieces. This move can be characterized as ignoring a potential threat by playing a seemingly innocuous pawn move that allows his opponent to kick an attacking piece, defending the attacked piece and positioning it for better protection. However, in doing so, Artemiev misses out on a chance to develop another piece more effectively. On the other hand, g3 does block an opponent's attack, which is an important consideration in chess strategy. Nonetheless, this move can be seen as a missed opportunity for Artemiev to make a stronger development, and instead, he chooses to focus on developing his central pawn.
