In the game between Ju Wenjun playing with white pieces versus Michael Adams playing with black pieces in the XTX Markets London Classic-Elite 2024 on November 30, 2024, White's move Nd4 is a notable play.
This move strengthens White's knight's presence on the board. However, it may overlook an opportunity to sacrifice material for a strategic advantage.
It appears that White is willing to risk material for a greater gain in influence. Nevertheless, there might be better ways to achieve this goal without compromising too much.
