Frayna,Janelle Mae vs. Ivanchuk,Vasyl - Reykjavik Open 2025 0-1

In the Reykjavik Open 2025 on April 10, 2025, White player Frayna made a move that would later be characterized as developing a piece for active play. This knight move on Ne5 puts pressure on Black's position and forces them to respond to the threat of losing material in exchange. By making this move, Frayna misses an opportunity to escape attack and instead creates a fork, attacking multiple pieces. Frayna's decision also highlights her piece development, as she chooses to take an aggressive stance rather than focusing on defensive play. Unfortunately for Black, this move leaves the knight without defenders, making it vulnerable to potential attacks.
