Lagno,Kateryna vs. Balabayeva,Xeniya - FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 1-0

In the FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 event on 2024.12.30, Kateryna Lagno played Nb6 with black pieces against Xeniya Balabayeva's white pieces. This move allowed her to develop a knight for active play. However, it missed the opportunity to reveal an attack on a piece, as Nb6 itself does not pose an immediate threat to White's position. Furthermore, this pawn move ignores the possibility of forcing White to make a subsequent move, which could have altered the course of the game. By playing Nb6, Lagno also misses out on a chance for favorable material exchange or development of another piece.
