Sivanandan,Bodhana vs. Bin-Suhayl,Ieysaa - XTX Markets London Masters 2024 0-1
In the game between Sivanandan and Bodhana at the XTX Markets London Masters 2024 on November 30, 2024, White's move g7 was made. This followed a capture move, but instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to put pressure on Black's position, it allowed Black to potentially escape or neutralize the attack. By advancing their passed pawn on this square, White missed the chance to create a strong initiative and instead gave Black an opening to counter-attack.
Additionally, White missed the opportunity to secure open file capture opportunities, which could have given them significant tactical advantages in the game. Furthermore, this move also failed to develop any piece actively, leaving it idle and unable to influence the game's outcome. Lastly, by making this specific move on g7, White actually developed a piece that would become active later in the game, albeit potentially too late to turn the tables.
