In the FIDE WSTC Open 50 2025 tournament on 2025.02.17, a peculiar move was made by Black player Novikov, Igor, against White player Jhunjhnuwala,Suresh. Specifically, Black played b5, which allows White's opponent to kick their pawn in front of the queen. This move also fails to escape an impending attack and misses the chance to develop a piece earlier on. However, it does develop one of its pawns for active play.
