Gadasi,Noam vs. Orian,Noga - Israeli Women-ch 2024 0-1
In the Israeli Women's Championship 2024 on January 21, 2025, Noam played the move c7 with white pieces against Noga's black pieces. This move allows White to advance their passed pawn, which is a significant strategic advantage.
The game gains tempo by pushing the pawn forward, putting pressure on Black's position. Unfortunately, this move also misses an opportunity for White to potentially escape any upcoming attacks, rather than allowing them to unfold.
However, developing the c-pawn does create a threat of material gain, as it could potentially lead to a successful exchange or even a passed pawn promotion. Furthermore, this move forces Noga to respond and develop her pieces, which can help White gain a strategic advantage.
The critical aspect of this move is that it may have been wiser for White to push the c-pawn further forward to secure a stronger pawn center, rather than advancing only one square. Despite its limitations, the move does offer White a chance to develop their piece and prepare for active play in the future games.
