Pace,Gabriele vs. Buidoso,Mihai - 17th Memorial Lezcano Montalvo 2025 1-0
In the 17th Memorial Lezcano Montalvo 2025 event on April 14, 2025, Black player Buidoso made a move starting with h2, advancing their passed pawn. This move comes at a cost as it fails to capitalize on an attacking opportunity, instead forcing White's piece movement in response. The pawn gain provides a temporary tempo advantage, but the overall impact of this move is somewhat mitigated by its inability to address other vulnerabilities on the board.
Additionally, this move doesn't effectively defend exposed pieces or create better protection for underdefended positions. It also doesn't force a stronger defensive response from White, and instead allows White's development to proceed unimpeded. By pushing forward with h2, Black misses out on the chance to develop their own piece in an active role, limiting the strategic options available to them moving forward.
Overall, while advancing the pawn offers some temporary benefits, its limitations make it a somewhat questionable move in the context of the game as a whole.
