Chasin,Nico vs. Ivanchuk,Vasyl - 4th Menorca Open 2025 0-1
In the 4th Menorca Open 2025 on April 23, 2025, Chasin played a move Ne2 with white pieces against Ivanchuk's black pieces. This move follows capture by opening up the line for future attacks and equalizing the trade of pieces. However, it fails to threaten Ivanchuk's position directly, instead opting for an even exchange of materials.
It misses the chance to reveal an attack on a key piece and proposes an equal trade of pieces, which can sometimes be beneficial in simplifying the position. Nevertheless, this move does not address the vulnerability of one of Chasin's own pieces. By defending the attacked piece, it provides better protection for that piece at least temporarily. The move also blocks Ivanchuk's potential attack by securing Chasin's central pawn structure.
