In the Open event on October 14, 2023, during a game between Daniel O Vollheim as White and Morten S Smedsrud as Black, the move Nd3 was played by Black. This move results in the loss of material in an exchange, potentially weakening Black's overall position on the board. It also sacrifices a piece unnecessarily, possibly compromising Black's strategic advantage. Despite this, the move effectively enhances the influence of Black's knight, potentially strengthening Black's position on the board.
