Joshi Aditya Shripad vs. Avirat Chauhan - 1st Konde Memorial 2025 0-1
In the 1st Konde Memorial 2025 chess game between Joshi Aditya Shripad (white) and Avirat Chauhan (black), on February 2, 2025, a questionable move was made by white, specifically playing Kh6. This move resulted in Joshi giving up material to exchange it for Kh6 which is not considered good practice as it often leaves the player with fewer options later down the game line.
Joshi could have been better off making moves that would have forced Avirat into a difficult decision on how he wanted to respond, rather than allowing him to easily kick Avirat's piece and potentially getting himself into an unfavorable position. In addition, this particular move doesn't provide much of a threat or help in the overall attacking play which can be seen as another negative aspect.
Furthermore, making Kh6 limits Joshi's ability to develop other pieces effectively since he is using up space on that square, limiting his options for further development and strategic play later in the game. Overall, it seems like this move was not well thought out by Joshi Aditya Shripad as it could have led to a less favorable position for white in the long run.
