Jacobs,Simon vs. Bhatia,Kanishka - 98th Caplin Hastings Masters 2024-25 0-1
In the 98th Caplin Hastings Masters 2024-25 event on December 30, 2024, Simon Jacobs played Nd2 with white pieces against Kanishka Bhatia with black pieces. This move allowed Jacobs to develop one of his knights, preparing it for active play. However, it also came at the cost of missing an opportunity to threaten Bhatia's position directly on d2. Furthermore, the move proposed a potential equal piece trade in the future, but did not reveal any immediate attack on Bhatia's pieces. Unfortunately for Jacobs, this move also missed the chance to escape from a potential attack by Bhatia and instead kept his piece somewhat exposed.
