Sane,Akshay vs. Dhayagude Aarav - 1st Konde Memorial 2025 0-1

In the game between Akshay Sane and Aarav Dhayagude at the 1st Konde Memorial 2025 on February 2nd, 2025, White's move f4 is a notable choice. The piece now holds a strong defensive position, as its forward placement prevents potential attacks from Black. However, this comes at the cost of neglecting to provide better protection for the underdeveloped pawn on e4. Furthermore, by advancing the f-pawn, White blocks a potentially powerful attack that could have been launched against the kingside. Moreover, f4 misses an opportunity to develop a piece in a more harmonious way, as it prioritizes immediate pressure over long-term strategic development. On the other hand, f4 does initiate active play and puts pressure on Black's position, which can be beneficial for White in terms of controlling the center and creating counterplay.
