Leftheriotis,Alexandros vs. Shchekachev,Andrei - 37th Belgrade Trophy 2024 1-0
In the 37th Belgrade Trophy 2024 event on November 25, 2024, between player Leftheriotis,Alexandros playing with white pieces versus player Shchekachev,Andrei playing with black pieces, the move g6 was made by Black. This move can be seen as an attempt to challenge White's central control but ultimately results in a missed opportunity for escape from attack. By playing g6, Black sacrifices its pawn on f7, which becomes well defended and no longer poses a significant threat. Furthermore, this move neglects to provide better protection for the underdefended piece d7, leaving it vulnerable to potential attacks. In addition, g6 does not facilitate better advancement of any pieces, allowing White to continue with their attack. The choice of g6 also allows for forced checkmate, as Black's position becomes increasingly difficult to defend. Despite this, Shchekachev continues to play, attempting to turn the tables on Leftheriotis but ultimately succumbing to the inevitable.
