Ridge, Benjamin vs. Burnett, Walter - Scottish Championship International Open 2024 0-1

In the game between Benjamin Ridge and Walter Burnett at the Scottish Championship International Open 2024 on July 10, 2024, White played the move Kg3. This move suggests a willingness to engage in piece exchanges on equal terms. It also fortifies a previously vulnerable piece, now adequately defended. However, it misses an opportunity for a stronger defense of another piece that remains underprotected. Kg3 does not directly aid in developing other pieces or in blocking an immediate attack by the opponent. Instead, it positions the king for potentially active participation in the game ahead.
