Maghsoodloo,Parham vs. Sethuraman,S.P. - 8th Sharjah Masters-A 2025 1-0
In the game between Parham Maghsoodloo and S.P. Sethuraman at the 8th Sharjah Masters-A 2025 on May 18, 2025, Black's move f5 is a notable choice. However, this move misses an opportunity to pose an immediate threat, as it fails to put pressure on White's position from the start.
Instead of revealing an attack on a piece and gaining a strategic advantage, f5 allows White to potentially kick back at Black with counterplay, undermining their initial momentum.
On the other hand, f5 does develop the piece, enabling it to participate in active play going forward.
