Chubakov,Sultan vs. Mauron,Pierre - SixDays Budapest January IM-A 2025 1/2-1/2
In the game between Chubakov, Sultan (white) and Mauron, Pierre (black), played at the SixDays Budapest January IM-A 2025 on 2025.01.27, Chubakov's move Ne1 is a notable one. The move develops the knight but fails to capitalize on its attacking potential.
Instead of aggressively pursuing the threat, the knight is used more defensively, potentially allowing Pierre Mauron to kick it away. By not forcing an enemy move, Chubakov misses an opportunity to gain an advantage. Furthermore, by choosing Ne1, the player overlooks a chance to further develop their position.
However, in this specific instance, the pawn on e2 does play an active role.
