Cabezas,Santiago vs. Llanos,Mauro - Torneo IRT Asociacion Italiana 2025 1-0

In the game between Cabezas, Santiago (white) and Llanos, Mauro (black), on 2025.03.08 at Torneo IRT Asociacion Italiana 2025, White made an unusual move by playing Na4. This unexpected capture move is considered a risk, as it threatens to gain material but also loses it in the process. By sacrificing a piece in this way, White has left themselves without a defender for the pawn on a4. It's worth noting that this move does not take into account a more straightforward threat or opportunity, instead opting to push forward with an aggressive strategy. This decision can be seen as overly optimistic and neglectful of potential counterplays by Black.
