Korshunov,Sergey And. vs. Starosta,Martyna - 4NCL Div 2 2024-25 1-0
In the 4NCL Div 2 event on November 24, 2024, Korshunov played the move e5 with the white pieces against Starosta with the black pieces. This aggressive opening move puts pressure on White's position and creates space for Black to develop their pieces.
The move threatens to gain a material advantage by potentially creating a weakness in White's pawn structure. By playing e5, Korshunov forces Starosta to respond to this threat, which may lead to a piece being exchanged or moved to mitigate the danger.
Additionally, playing e5 gains Korshunov a tempo advantage, as it allows him to take the center of the board and potentially create counterplay on the queenside. However, this move comes at the cost of missing an opportunity to develop one of his pieces, which could have been done more effectively elsewhere on the board.
Despite this, playing e5 develops Korshunov's pawn in a way that prepares it for active play, setting the stage for potential counterattacking opportunities.
