Xie,Jianjun vs. Li,Zhanjia - 37th Belgrade Trophy 2024 1-0
In the 37th Belgrade Trophy 2024 on November 23rd, a notable move was made by Li,Zhanjia playing with black pieces against Xie,Jianjun's white pieces. The move Nd5 is characterized by being a missed opportunity to threaten, as it does not utilize its attacking potential effectively. It also fails to reveal the attack on a piece, leaving the opponent uncertain about the intentions behind this move. Furthermore, the knight's influence in the game is enhanced with this move, but at the cost of missing a chance to escape an impending attack. The d5 pawn is now well defended against Xie,Jianjun's potential attacks, but this defense comes at the expense of better protection for the underdefended piece on c6. By playing Nd5, Li,Zhanjia blocks Xie,Jianjun's attack and creates a fork that puts multiple pieces under threat. This move can be seen as developing a piece for active play, increasing its potential for future success in the game.
