Kovchan, Alexander vs. Veiga, Jose Francisco R P Neves - Leca Chess Open 2024 1-0

In the game between Alexander Kovchan and Jose Francisco R P Neves at the Leca Chess Open 2024 on August 1, 2024, Black's move h5 is noteworthy for several reasons. This move puts pressure on White by threatening a material gain and compelling White to relocate a piece. However, it overlooks a potentially stronger move for the knight and misses an opportunity to escape an ongoing attack. Despite this, h5 gains a tempo advantage and contributes to active piece play. Additionally, it neglects the chance to further develop Black's position.
