Burke,John M vs. Atanasov,Anthony - US Masters 2024 1/2-1/2

In the US Masters 2024 event on December 1st, 2024, between John M Burke playing with white pieces against Anthony Atanasov playing with black pieces, a notable move was made by Black on square h7. The move allowed White to potentially attack a piece directly and gain a strategic advantage. However, it also created an opportunity for Black to reveal an attack on a piece that would put pressure on White's position. Unfortunately, this chance was overlooked, allowing White to maintain control of the center and develop other pieces more effectively. By playing h7, Black actually developed one of their pieces in preparation for active play later in the game.
