In the event SVIS 1st Open FIDE Rapid-ch 2025 on 2025.05.02 between Avirat Chauhan playing with white pieces versus Wagh Suyog playing with black pieces, White's move Kh2 is a notable play. This move aims to threaten material gain by advancing one of the pawns. However, it appears White ignores a more substantial threat chance that could have been exploited to gain an advantage. By making this move, White reveals a blocked attack and misses the opportunity to expose Black's position.
Moreover, White fails to take advantage of a better escape from the potential attack on their piece and neglects to defend the underprotected piece. Despite defending the attacked piece, it is now well protected by the pawn advance. Unfortunately, White also fails to provide adequate protection for the underdefended piece, which remains vulnerable. The move blocks an opponent's attack, preventing Black from countering effectively.
Additionally, this move creates a fork that attacks multiple pieces on the board, but White misses the chance to develop their piece and utilize its full potential. However, it is worth noting that by making this pawn advance, White does develop one of their pawns for active play.
