Banerjee,Supratit vs. Venkataramanan,T.S. - XTX Markets London Masters 2024 1/2-1/2

In the XTX Markets London Masters 2024 event on November 30, 2024, White player Banerjee made a notable move Nxe5 against Black player Venkataramanan. This move eliminates an attacking piece by capturing it, effectively neutralizing potential threats. The exchange also results in an equal trade of material, which can lead to further strategic play. Additionally, the knight is now left without defenders, allowing for greater mobility and influence on the board. However, this move fails to provide better protection for the underdefended piece that was attacked. Furthermore, it misses the opportunity to develop another piece for active play, potentially weakening overall position. Nonetheless, the move does develop the knight, which can be a key factor in future active play.
