Sahin, Sarp vs. Makridis, Dimitrios - Kavala Chess Tournament A 2024 0-1

In the Kavala Chess Tournament A 2024 on August 1st, the game between Sahin, Sarp playing with the white pieces and Makridis, Dimitrios playing with the black pieces featured an interesting move by White with h4. This move results in the loss of material in exchange for a positional idea, missing an opportunity to pose a more immediate threat. It sacrifices a piece without necessity and overlooks the chance to reveal an attack on an opponent's piece. However, it forces a move from the opponent's piece, gaining a tempo advantage. Despite this, it misses the opportunity to escape an attack and a favorable material exchange. The move also fails to seize a chance to develop another piece, though it does activate the piece for more aggressive play. Overall, while h4 is aggressive, it neglects several strategic advantages that could have been more beneficial in this context.
