In the Azerbaijan-ch 1st League 2025 game between Chingiz Rzayev and Ilgar Halafov on January 9th, 2025, Chingiz played the move Ne4. This aggressive pawn push threatens to gain a material advantage by potentially gaining control over the e-pawn. By playing Ne4, Chingiz also opens up opportunities for potential equal trade of pieces, which could lead to a more balanced position. Notably, this move ignores the stronger threat of White's central pawns, instead opting for a more cautious approach. The pawn on e4 forces Ilgar to respond with a piece development, potentially weakening his overall position. This move also enhances Chingiz's knight influence on the board. By occupying an important outpost, the pawn on e4 gains a tempo advantage over Ilgar's pieces. However, this move misses the opportunity for Ilgar to escape from the potential attack on his material. Furthermore, Chingiz's move creates a fork that attacks multiple of Ilgar's pieces, increasing the pressure on Black's position.
