Gyana Sai Santhosh M vs. Karthikeyan,P.. - 2nd Namma Bengaluru Open-A 2025 0-1

In the 2nd Namma Bengaluru Open-A 2025 chess match between Gyana Sai Santhosh M (white) and Karthikeyan,P (black) on 2025.04.12, White played Nb3, a move that follows up on a previous capture. This strategic decision puts pressure on Black's position by threatening to gain material advantage. By placing the knight on b3, White enhances its control over key areas of the board, allowing for more flexibility in responding to future moves. However, it also misses an opportunity to further develop another piece, potentially leaving some potential threats unexploited. Nevertheless, Nb3 facilitates active play by positioning the knight in a position where it can exert influence on the game's progression, setting up possibilities for counter-attacks or exploiting Black's defensive weaknesses.
