Kulak,Volodymyr vs. Kravchuk,Sviatoslav - Chestnut 2nd Category Final 2025 1/2-1/2

In the Chestnut 2nd Category Final 2025 chess game between Volodymyr Kulak and Sviatoslav Kravchuk on April 6, 2025, Black played the move Ne7. This move weakens White's central pawn structure while also preparing to develop other pieces. By playing Ne7, Kulak ignores a potentially stronger threat in favor of opening up lines for his own attack. The move reveals that Black has been blocked from attacking White's position earlier and misses an opportunity to gain a strategic advantage by developing his bishop more effectively. As a result, the knight on e7 is now well defended against potential attacks.
