Mela,Francesco vs. Yaniv,Yuval - Sardinia World Festival 2025 0-1
In the game between Mela-Francesco and Yaniv-Yuval at the Sardinia World Festival 2025 on April 27, 2025, White player Mela made the move Ne4. This bold move initiates an exchange of pieces, offering equal value in return for material, which can lead to a more balanced position. By playing Ne4, White gains a temporary advantage as their knight is now more active and influential, allowing it to put pressure on Black's position. However, this move also misses the opportunity to retreat the knight and escape any potential attack, instead choosing to commit to the exchange. Furthermore, by developing one of their pieces, Mela sets the stage for future active play.
