Mohammadi,Melika vs. Jiang,Tianyu - ISF U15 Gymnasiade Girls-B 2025 0-1
In the ISF U15 Gymnasiade Girls-B 2025 event on April 10, 2025, Melika Mohammadi made a move for White that would ultimately impact the game. By playing f4, she is putting her pawn in a position where it could be exchanged for one of Black's pieces, potentially gaining material but also leaving herself vulnerable to counter-attacks.
This move can be seen as an aggressive attempt to gain tempo and control the center of the board. However, it might have been wiser to consider alternative options that would not leave her pawn without defenders or ignore potential threats on her own pieces.
The fact that White gains a temporary advantage in development suggests that Mohammadi was aiming for quick action, but perhaps overlooked the long-term consequences of this particular move. It is unclear whether playing f4 was intended to force Black's Tianyu Jiang into responding, but it ultimately remains to be seen how the game will unfold from here.
It seems unlikely that Melika Mohammadi intentionally left her pawn in a position where it could be attacked without any defensive support, and it may have been more prudent to prioritize developing other pieces before committing to such an aggressive move. Nonetheless, this decision will undoubtedly shape the trajectory of the rest of the game.
