In the Austrian Chess Championship 2024 on August 1, 2024, in the game between Florian Schwabeneder and Florian Sandhoefner, White's move Nxe5 had several important implications. By capturing on e5, White not only removed an attacking piece but also gained material advantage in the process. This exchange resulted in an equal trade while leaving Black's piece on e5 without support. The knight's position was significantly improved, enhancing its influence on the board. However, this move also allowed Black the opportunity to challenge the knight's placement. Despite these factors, White missed the chance to develop another piece actively, which could have contributed to a more dynamic position.
