Milov,Leonid vs. Eberhart,Erik - Grenke Chess Open-A 2025 1-0
In the Grenke Chess Open-A 2025 on 2025.04.17, Leonid Milov played a move that sacrificed his c-pawn to capture Erik Eberhart's bishop with Bxc3. This move follows a capture sequence of an opponent's piece and has implications for the rest of the game. By playing this move, Milov ignores the threat posed by Eberhart's subsequent development, creating space for his own pieces to develop. This also results in free movement for his bishop, which can now advance on its long diagonal. Furthermore, capturing the opponent's bishop opens up an outpost for Milov's bishop, allowing it to potentially influence key parts of the board. However, by doing so, Milov misses the opportunity to defend his own c-pawn, as well as the potential benefit of protecting underdefended pieces.
