Roos,Louis vs. Vucenovic,Dragomir - FIDE WSTC Open 65 2025 0-1

In the game between Roos, Louis (White) and Vucenovic, Dragomir (Black) at the FIDE WSTC Open 65 on 2025.02.20, Black played a crucial move exf2+, which eliminates the attacking piece, resulting in a material gain. This move also forces White's piece to make a move, thereby gaining tempo advantage. However, this seemingly advantageous position for Black has become a passed pawn, and one might wonder why it wasn't pushed forward to create more pressure on White's position. Meanwhile, the opportunity to develop another piece was overlooked, which could have potentially led to further complications for White. Nevertheless, this move does develop one of Black's pieces for active play, setting up future opportunities for counterplay.
