Johannesson, Oliver vs. Sigurjonsson, Stefan Th. - Icelandic Team Championship 2023/2024 1-0

In the Icelandic Team Championship 2023/2024 on October 14, 2023, during the match between Oliver Johannesson playing with the white pieces and Stefan Th. Sigurjonsson playing with the black pieces, the move Ng7 was played by black. This move poses a potential threat of a material win, albeit at the cost of losing material in the exchange, sacrificing the piece unnecessarily, and failing to seize a winning tempo. It also fails to capitalize on a superior chance to create a more significant threat on the board and to reveal an attack on a piece, yet it effectively forces the opponent's piece to move and enhances the influence of the knight. Although the move ensures the current defense of the piece, it also allows the opponent's piece to kick and blocks the opponent's potential attack, but it misses the opportunity to protect an under-defended piece and to force an unfavorable move from the opponent.
