Roebers,Eline vs. De Seroux,Camille - European Women Rapid-ch 2024 0-1
In the European Women Rapid-ch 2024 on January 11th, 2025, Eline Roebers played Nf4 with white pieces against Camille De Seroux's black pieces. This move aims to enhance the knight's influence by bringing it closer to the center of the board.
It allows for a more active play development of the piece, rather than simply moving it into position without any further intent.
However, this decision ignores a potential opportunity to capture material, as Nf4 leaves the knight vulnerable to attack if not properly defended.
Furthermore, by sacrificing a pawn, white gains a strategic advantage in terms of mobility and flexibility for its pieces, particularly the knights.
