The move e4 poses an immediate threat to White's position, as it challenges their central control and creates potential weaknesses in their pawn structure.
By playing e4, Black forces White to make a difficult decision regarding the development of their piece on the e-file, which can gain them a temporary tempo advantage.
However, this move also misses out on the opportunity to develop another piece earlier in the game, potentially limiting Black's future mobility and flexibility.
On the other hand, playing e4 allows Black to develop their pawn quickly and create a powerful central presence that can exert pressure on White's position.
Overall, the move e4 is a double-edged choice that can either accelerate or hinder Black's development, depending on how Kruczynski chooses to respond.
