Fehr,Axel vs. Terlouw,Wouter - Hoogeveen Open 2024 0-1

In the game between Axel Fehr and Wouter Terlouw at the Hoogeveen Open 2024 on October 28, 2024, the move c4 played by White initiates a strategic opening that aims to control the center. This move puts pressure on Black's position, potentially leading to a material advantage. However, it overlooks a more pressing threat from Black, which could have been addressed with a different approach. While c4 proposes an equal exchange of pieces, it misses an opportunity to escape from an impending attack. Additionally, this move fails to capitalize on a favorable material exchange that could have strengthened White's position. Despite these drawbacks, it does allow for the development of a piece, contributing to active play in the opening phase of the game. Overall, while c4 has its merits in terms of development and pressure, it also reflects missed chances that could have led to a more advantageous position for White.
