Sane,Akshay vs. Sarvesh Srikant Damale - 1st Konde Memorial 2025 1-0

In the game between Akshay Sane (White) and Sarvesh Srikant Damale (Black) at the 1st Konde Memorial 2025 on February 2, 2025, White plays a decisive move gxf5. This capture eliminates a potential attacking piece, allowing White to reorganize their forces. However, by playing gxf5, White also misses an opportunity to threaten Black's position more effectively. The move does not reveal any attack on a specific piece, as it involves capturing the f-pawn without targeting any other piece. Additionally, White fails to push passed pawns forward, which could have led to further gains in material or territorial control. Furthermore, gxf5 hampers White's chances of escaping an impending attack, as this move does not provide sufficient counterplay against Black's attacking forces. Lastly, by playing gxf5, White develops the f-pawn, but it remains unclear if this is done for active play purposes.
