Kretchetov, Alexandre vs. Yoo, Eugene - IM C 1/2-1/2

In the game between Kretchetov, Alexandre (White) and Yoo, Eugene (Black) during the IM C event on July 11, 2024, Black played Nh5. This move threatens a material gain and proposes an equal trade of pieces, aiming for an active play. It reveals an attack that was previously blocked, though it misses the optimal chance to do so and a better opportunity for bishop mobility. Despite the potential to exchange pieces favorably and force an opponent's move, it misses these opportunities. The move gains a tempo advantage but also allows White to kick the piece and develop their own piece. Ultimately, it develops Black's piece actively, although it misses a more favorable material exchange.
