In the game between Filip (White) and Berechet (Black) at the Romanian Championship Open 2025 on February 18, 2025, Black's move e5 is an aggressive choice that aims to challenge White's central control.
This move ignores a potential threat from one of its own pieces being captured in a subsequent turn, as it focuses on gaining material advantage by creating an opportunity for piece trade with White.
By playing e5, Black reveals a blocked attack on their position and forces White to respond, which can lead to a piece exchange that might not be favorable for Black's overall strategy.
However, this move also gains tempo advantage, allowing Black to develop its pieces more quickly and put pressure on White's position.
Despite the potential benefits, Black overlooks a better protection for one of their underdefended pieces, leaving it vulnerable to attack in subsequent moves.
Overall, e5 is a bold move that aims to create a fork, attacking multiple of White's pieces, while also developing a piece for active play.
