Nemeth,Zoltan vs. Salmenkivi,Eero - FIDE WSTC Open 65 2025 1-0
In the FIDE WSTC Open 65 event on 2025.02.18, Zoltan Nemeth played c3 with white pieces against Eero Salmenkivi's black pieces. This move marked a strategic decision that would have far-reaching consequences. Nemeth missed an opportunity to potentially threaten Salmenkivi's position by not exploiting the available attacking chances. By choosing c3, he also ignored the possibility of revealing an attack on one of his own pieces. Furthermore, this advance of his passed pawn on the queenside allowed Salmenkivi to prepare a potential counter-attack by kicking Nemeth's piece out of the way. Consequently, Nemeth's development of the c-pawn hindered his ability to launch active play with other pieces.
