In the game between Ehs, Dominik and Balint, Peter at the Austrian Chess Championship on August 1, 2024, Black's move Kc7 is quite multifaceted. By moving the king to c7, Black manages to defend a piece that was under attack, showcasing a moment of tactical awareness. However, this move also leaves an opponent's piece unchallenged, missing a key opportunity to kick it. Additionally, there was a more effective escape route available that was not utilized. The move also overlooks a chance to develop a piece, which could have been advantageous for future play. By choosing Kc7, Black missed a stronger defensive option for the unprotected piece. Overall, while Kc7 did offer some defensive merit, it was far from the best choice in that situation.
