Alizada,Pasham vs. Ponta-Facalet,Zeno-Andrei - ISF U15 Gymnasiade Open-B 2025 1-0
In the 2025 ISF U15 Gymnasiade Open-B event on April 10th, Alizada played Re6, a move that sacrificed material in exchange for a strategic opportunity.
Alizada's decision to play Re6 resulted in losing material, as this pawn sacrifice would eventually weaken their position.
This move also missed the chance to threaten Ponta-Facalet directly, instead allowing Zeno-Andrei to maintain a strong defensive posture.
Furthermore, Alizada chose to ignore the superior threat chance presented by playing a more aggressive move on e5, which could have put pressure on Black's position and gained an advantage.
Notably, Alizia ignored the free capture opportunity that would have allowed them to gain material and potentially turn the game in their favor.
Additionally, this move missed the chance to reveal an attack on Zeno-Andrei's bishop, which could have caught their opponent off guard and created new attacking opportunities.
By playing Re6, Alizada also failed to take advantage of better bishop mobility, as the pawn sacrifice would limit their future options for developing a strong piece.
Moreover, this move allowed Ponta-Facalet to kick the rook with ease, putting pressure on Alizia's position and creating a significant disadvantage.
Furthermore, Alizia missed the opportunity to escape from the potential attack that Zeno-Andrei had planned for them, which would have forced Black to spend resources defending against a counterattack.
Additionally, this move also missed the chance to force Ponta-Facalet to make an unfavorable move, which could have created more opportunities for Alizada to launch a successful attack.
The rook capture on e6 ultimately led to a loss of material and opened up a file that would be difficult to defend.
