Jake Shanty vs. Szpar,Milosz - SixDays Budapest January GM-B 2025 1/2-1/2

In the game between Jake Shanty playing with white pieces versus Szpar, Milosz playing with black pieces in the SixDays Budapest January GM-B 2025 on 2025.01.28, Black's move Kh8 can be described as a risky decision that puts material at risk. This move ignores the stronger threat of White's attack and instead focuses on developing the King, revealing an otherwise blocked attack. However, it fails to seize the tempo advantage, allowing White to potentially counter-attack. The move also allows White to kick their opponent's piece with ease, putting Black in a difficult defensive position. Furthermore, this move blocks a better opportunity for protection of an underdefended piece, leaving it vulnerable to attack. It is worth noting that Black has created a fork, attacking multiple pieces, but they have missed the chance to develop their piece for active play. On the other hand, White's King gain from Kh8 does make Black's king now well defended. Unfortunately, this move fails to provide better protection for an underdefended piece, and ultimately allows Szpar Milosz a difficult escape from attack.
