Horak, Martin vs. Zhigalko, Sergei - October 01 Late 2024 0-1

On October 1, 2024, during a match between Martin Horak and Sergei Zhigalko, the move Ng4 played by White was notable for several reasons. This move did not capitalize on an opportunity to pose a direct threat to Black's position. Additionally, it overlooked a chance to exploit a more advantageous position that could have led to a stronger initiative. While it did enhance the knight's influence on the board, it failed to take advantage of the momentum that could have forced Black into a defensive response. Furthermore, this move missed an opportunity to develop another piece actively, which could have contributed to White's overall strategy. Ultimately, while Ng4 developed a piece for active play, it did not seize the critical tempo needed for a more aggressive stance in the game.
