In the Skopje Open 2023 chess event held on December 12, 2023, the game between Leftheriotis, Alexandros, playing with white pieces, and Engin, Onur Cinar, playing with black pieces saw a noteworthy move – Kd2. This move, however, missed several opportunities throughout its execution. It failed to capitalize on potential threats, neglected superior chances for aggression, and overlooked advantageous possibilities for material capture. Furthermore, the move disregarded the potential for a strategic piece exchange in favor of the opponent and failed to capitalize on opportunities to reveal a counter-attack on the opponent's pieces. Notably, the move allowed the opponent to kick a piece without retaliation and missed the chance to escape an impending attack. In essence, Kd2 exhibited a lack of strategic foresight, overlooking favorable material exchanges and opportunities to force the opponent into a disadvantageous move.
