Mozny,Milos vs. Van Egmond,Rogier - FIDE WSTC Open 65 2025 1/2-1/2
In the FIDE WSTC Open 65 2025 event on 2025.02.20, Mozny played Ne4, a move that missed an opportunity to threaten directly. By not attacking the piece immediately, he ignored the chance to create tension and force Van Egmond into a more defensive mindset. This decision also meant missing out on the potential to reveal an attack on a piece, potentially catching Van Egmond off guard. Furthermore, Mozny's choice of Ne4 enhanced his knight's influence in the center, setting up future development opportunities for active play. However, this move also led to Mozny missing the chance to escape any potential attack from Van Egmond. Additionally, by playing Ne4, Mozny created a fork that attacked multiple pieces simultaneously, complicating Van Egmond's position. Despite developing his piece, which is often considered a positive aspect of chess, Mozny's choice of Ne4 did not ultimately lead to a strong initiative or attacking chances.
