Balint,Peter vs. Hake,Nils - AUT-ch U18-Open 2025 1-0
In the game between Balint and Hake at the AUT-ch U18-Open 2025 on April 13, 2025, White's move Nxe4 followed a capture, eliminating an attacking piece from the board. This decision also revealed that a blocked attack was being ignored. The knight's influence was enhanced by this move, however, as it developed the piece for active play. By capturing the e4 pawn, White missed the opportunity to push a passed pawn forward. Furthermore, the knight is now well defended on the d4 square, but this defense could have been improved by playing for better protection of the underdefended f7 square. Overall, the move seems to have blocked an opponent's attack and allowed White to focus on other parts of the board.
