Baghirov,Orkhan vs. Garayev,Kanan - Azerbaijan-ch 1st League 2025 0-1

In the Azerbaijan-ch 1st League 2025 match between Orkhan Baghirov and Kanan Garayev on January 9, 2025, White made a move that has been scrutinized by chess experts: Kg2. This move can be rephrased as follows: It fails to capitalize on a potential attack opportunity, instead choosing to focus on the king's safety. By moving the king away from the center of the board, White activates its most defensive role, rather than engaging in active play. Furthermore, this move neglects the development of other pieces, which could have been used to support the central pawns and create a stronger position for White.
