Venkatesh,Narayan vs. Jing,Andrew - Charlotte CC Fall IM-B 2024 1/2-1/2
In the game between Venkatesh Narayan and Andrew Jing at the Charlotte CC Fall IM-B 2024 on November 24, 2024, White's move a3 is notable for not seizing an opportunity to capture an opponent's piece, instead missing a chance to advance one of his own pieces in a more impactful way. By playing a3, White does develop a piece but at the cost of potentially better opportunities elsewhere on the board. The move allows for future active play, but it does come at the expense of not developing another piece that could have been used more strategically.
