Li,Guohao vs. Dragnev,Valentin - 4th Menorca Open 2025 1-0

In the 4th Menorca Open 2025 on 2025.04.23, a strategic move was made by Black player Dragnev, Valentin, playing c5 against White player Li, Guohao. This move is characterized as "Follows capture move," indicating that it follows a previous capture, which in this case likely refers to the pawn capture on e4 or d4. The move also threatens material gain, implying that Black aims to exchange pieces and potentially create weaknesses in White's position. The proposal of an equal piece trade suggests that Dragnev is willing to sacrifice material to achieve a balance in the game. Furthermore, this move allows for a potential "piece kick," where White can use its pieces to harass or attack Black's position on c5. By playing c5, Dragnev develops a piece and prepares it for active play, which could lead to further attacks or initiatives. The event took place from 2025.04.23 in the 4th Menorca Open 2025, with Dragnev, Valentin playing as Black against Li, Guohao's White pieces.
