Gilruth, Peter vs. Forsythe, Benjamin - U.S. Open Championship and State Tournaments of Champions 2024 1-0

In the U.S. Open Championship and State Tournaments of Champions on July 27, 2024, Benjamin Forsythe, playing black, made the move Ke6. This move had several notable effects. Firstly, it overlooked an opportunity to pose a threat, failing to capitalize on a chance to create a superior attacking position. Additionally, it blocked an existing attack and missed a chance to reveal a more effective attack. On the plus side, the move gained tempo advantage, as the piece on e6 was well-defended and protected against potential threats. However, it missed an opportunity to better protect an underdefended piece and did not exploit a chance to force a reaction from the opponent. While the move did result in a piece becoming more active, it did not take advantage of a potential fork to attack multiple pieces or develop another piece for more active play.
