Islam, Obaidul Shahin vs. Md. Jamal Uddin - Elegant International Chess Academy 1st Division Chess League 2024 0-1

In the game between Obaidul Shahin (playing white) and Md. Jamal Uddin (playing black) at the Elegant International Chess Academy 1st Division Chess League 2024 on July 11, 2024, white played the move a3. This move can be seen as missing an opportunity to threaten or reveal an attack on an opponent's piece. It also overlooks a potentially better move with the knight and fails to capitalize on a chance for a favorable piece exchange. However, a3 does develop a piece for active play, albeit at the cost of ignoring a superior threat chance and not forcing a move from the opponent. It does not gain a tempo advantage nor does it contribute to escaping an attack or achieving a favorable material exchange.
