Theodorou,Nikolas vs. Park,Evan - US Masters 2024 1-0

In the US Masters 2024 event on November 30, 2024, between Theodorou and Park, Black player Nikolas made a provocative move: Bg4. This bold choice develops his bishop, which can become more active in play. By playing this move, Black allows White's pieces to be kicked out of their central squares, potentially creating counterplay on the kingside. However, this move also misses an opportunity to develop another piece, leaving some flexibility for counterattack or pawn structure adjustments.
