Panesar Vedant vs. Costa,Leonardo - SixDays Budapest GM-A 11-2024 1/2-1/2

In the SixDays Budapest GM-A event on 2024.11.24, White player Panesar Vedant made the move d5. This move can be seen as missing an opportunity to develop a piece early on, as it doesn't utilize any of the other pieces that could have been developed instead. On the other hand, playing d5 does develop one of White's key pieces, the knight, for active play, allowing it to potentially control the center and influence the game in various ways.
