Thorfinnsson,Bjorn vs. Gorshtein,Ido - Reykjavik Open 2025 0-1

In the Reykjavik Open 2025 on April 10, 2025, Bjorn Thorfinnsson made a move with his knight piece to c2. This move seems to have been overly cautious, as it fails to capitalize on an opportunity to launch a direct attack and instead neglects to reveal any potential threats. By not developing his piece for active play, Bjorn missed the chance to create tension and pressure on Ido Gorshtein's position early on. On the other hand, by moving his knight to c2, Thorfinnsson does develop one of his pieces, albeit somewhat passively. This move also allows Ido Gorshtein's piece to potentially counter-attack, as it exposes the white position to a possible attack.
