Kalogridis,Themistoklis vs. Kordas,Alexandros - 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 1-0

In the 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 on 2024.11.29, Themistoklis played a move that allowed Kalogridis to gain a material advantage, but at a cost. The move Kh8, played by Black, puts pressure on Alexandros's position, as it threatens to win material in exchange for a pawn. However, this comes at the expense of missing opportunities to defend other pieces and protect against potential attacks. The move also blocks an opponent attack, as it prevents Kalogridis from being attacked by his own bishop. Furthermore, Kh8 allows the white knight to develop and become more active on the board, which could lead to further complications for Black's position. By playing this move, Alexandros has sacrificed a pawn to gain some mobility for his pieces, but at present there is no way to undo it.
