Vaglio Mattey, Emanuel vs. Manolache, Marius - June 18 Late 2024 0-1

In the game between Emanuel Vaglio Mattey and Marius Manolache during the June 18 Late 2024 event, the move Kg4 by White was intriguing. The move threatened a material gain, but it overlooked a straightforward capture opportunity. It also missed a chance to seize material and to create a revealed attack on a piece. Additionally, it failed to improve the mobility of the bishop. By playing Kg4, White allowed Black to potentially drive the piece away and missed a more effective escape from an attack. The move did not adequately defend an unprotected piece, though it did defend another piece that was under threat. Kg4 also missed the opportunity to protect a piece that was not well-defended and could have been better defended. Despite these drawbacks, the move developed a piece for active play but failed to develop another piece that could have been brought into the game.
