Zhu,Jiner vs. Melia,Salome - FIDE Women GP Pune 2025 1/2-1/2
In the game between Zhu,Jiner (white) and Melia,Salome (black), at the FIDE Women GP Pune 2025 on April 16, 2025, Black's move Nd4 is a noteworthy choice. This move enhances the knight's influence by placing it in a strong central outpost that can exert significant pressure on White's position. By occupying this key location, Black allows White's pieces to potentially be kicked out of their safe haven. However, instead of retreating and regrouping, Black fails to seize an opportunity to escape the impending attack from White.
Furthermore, Black misses the chance to develop a piece in a more strategic manner, opting for a move that prioritizes attacking over defensive solidity. Nevertheless, Nd4 does develop the knight for active play, which suggests a desire to launch counter-attacks and challenge White's central control.
