Neelash Saha vs. Puranik,Abhimanyu - 3rd President Cup-A 2024 1/2-1/2
In the game between Neelash Saha (White) and Puranik Abhimanyu (Black) at the 3rd President Cup-A 2024 on November 24th, 2024, White's move Nd2 is noteworthy. This move threatens to gain control of a key piece. It also offers an equal exchange, potentially setting up a balanced trade. However, it forces Black to respond and move a piece, which might have been avoided if White had considered alternative options.
On the other hand, this move does not utilize the opportunity to escape an attack that may be looming on the board. Furthermore, it fails to take advantage of the chance to develop another piece for active play. Nevertheless, Nd2 does serve to develop one piece in a way that could contribute to future active play.
