Maerevoet,Sim vs. Juan Miguel,Javier - 17th Memorial Lezcano Montalvo 2025 1-0
In the game between Maerevoet Sim and Juan Miguel Javier at the 17th Memorial Lezcano Montalvo 2025 on April 12, 2025, Black played the move c5. This move ignores a potential threat of White's pawn storm on the d-file, opting instead to propose an equal exchange of pieces. By choosing this move, Black misses the chance to escape the looming attack and instead focuses on defending their piece on c5. After this move, the c5-pawn is now well supported by Black's control of the center. However, this decision also leads to a missed opportunity for better protection of an underdefended piece elsewhere on the board. Furthermore, Black's move fails to develop another piece that could have been utilized for active play, instead prioritizing the development of the c5-pawn.
