Kunka,Harshid vs. Lohia,Sohum - Charlotte CC Fall GM-Open 2024 1/2-1/2
In the game Charlotte CC Fall GM-Open 2024 on November 24, 2024, between players Kunka, Harshid (white) and Lohia, Sohum (black), Black's move h6 is a notable sacrifice. This capture move aims to gain material advantage, as indicated by the threat of material win. However, it comes at the cost of losing material in exchange. By making this move, Black ignores a superior threat chance that could have been exploited for greater benefit.
This pawn push develops an otherwise passive piece for active play, suggesting a more strategic intention behind the move. Nonetheless, it also forces White to make a piece move, gaining tempo advantage in the process. Unfortunately, Black misses opportunities to reveal an attack on this piece and instead allows White to kick out with it. Furthermore, by sacrificing the pawn unnecessarily, Black misses the chance to escape an impending attack or force a more advantageous position.
