Black makes another odd-looking move, but his idea is very logical! From a6, the knight supports a c6-c5 advance (pressuring the center) without interfering with the communication among the other Black pieces. It's true that knights on the rim are usually grim, but knowing when to break the rules is equally important! (Black's time used 0:13) |
