Xouplidis,Filippos vs. Kountrias,Kosmas Ioannis - 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 1-0

In the game between Xouplidis,Filippos (white) and Kountrias,Kosmas Ioannis (black), on 2024.11.29 in the 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 event, Black played the move Nd4. This move forces White to respond to a potential piece development, enhancing the influence of the knight on the d-file. It also gains a tempo advantage by occupying the central square, allowing it to potentially kick into action. However, this move fails to better protect an underdefended piece on the board. The move now well defends itself from potential attacks, and creates a fork that attacks multiple White pieces simultaneously. This fork is achieved without properly developing another piece, which could have been utilized for active play.
