Cobos Urbina,Enrique vs. Gulbrandsen,Tor - 21st Open Gran Hotel Bali-B 2024 1/2-1/2
In the game between Enrique Cobos Urbina playing with white pieces versus Tor Gulbrandsen playing with black pieces in the 21st Open Gran Hotel Bali-B 2024 on November 29, 2024, the move e5 played by Black is a notable one. It puts pressure on White's position, potentially leading to material gain or loss in an exchange. This move forces White to make a piece move, which can lead to additional complications. On the other hand, it also gives Black a tempo advantage, allowing them to develop a piece more quickly and potentially launching a counterattack. However, this move does miss out on the opportunity to retreat from potential attack, creating a sense of vulnerability. Furthermore, e5 creates a fork that attacks multiple pieces, adding complexity to the position. Unfortunately for Black, this move also misses the chance to fully develop one of their pieces, which could have provided more stability in the center. Nevertheless, by playing e5, Black has developed a piece for active play and is now able to challenge White's central control.
