Mhamane Sourabh vs. Sammed Jaykumar,Shete - Goa GM Open 2025 0-1
In the 2025 Goa GM Open chess match between Mhamane Sourabh (White) and Sammed Jaykumar, Shete (Black), on January 11, 2025, White made a move that seems to have missed an opportunity for a strong attack by ignoring a potentially superior threat chance. This move also reveals that the attack was blocked, however, it gains tempo advantage as White develops a piece for active play. Unfortunately, it fails to seize winning tempo, allowing Black to counter-attack and kick back at White's position.
This move doesn't defend an unprotected piece or create a fork attacking multiple pieces, instead, it misses chance to develop piece. However, the game continues with White developing piece for active play, which suggests that this move was part of a broader strategy to control the center of the board.
