Kovchan,Alexander vs. Pert,Nicholas - 4NCL Div 1 2024-25 1/2-1/2

In the 4NCL Div 1 event on November 23, 2024, White player Alexander Kovchan made a move that showed a moderate level of development, specifically placing his bishop on d3, which can be considered an active position for the piece. However, this move may have come at the cost of potentially advancing another piece more effectively. Kovchan's choice to play Bd3 might have been seen as a missed opportunity to develop other pieces more vigorously, but it does lay the groundwork for future active play with that bishop.
