Gschiel,Alexander vs. Hengl,Philip - AUT-ch U18-Open 2025 1-0
In the game between Gschiel,Alexander and Hengl,Philip at the AUT-ch U18-Open 2025 on 2025.04.14, Black played c5. This move was a missed opportunity to challenge White's position directly. By playing c5, Black ignored a chance to threaten White's central pawn structure. Furthermore, this choice did not reveal any attack on one of White's pieces. The move only led to the creation of a passed pawn for Black.
The game now features a well-defended piece, as Black has taken steps to protect it from potential attacks. Despite being underdefended initially, the piece is now better shielded. This decision also missed out on favorable material exchanges that could have benefited Black's position. Additionally, this move failed to offer any better escape routes for Black's pieces from an impending attack.
On a tactical level, c5 was chosen instead of developing a more active piece to take advantage of potential weaknesses in White's position. However, Black did develop the c-pawn, which could potentially be used to launch future attacks.
