Sliwicka,Alicja vs. Bulmaga,Irina - FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 1-0
In the FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 event on December 30, 2024, between players Sliwicka,Alicja (white) and Bulmaga,Irina (black), Black's move c5 is notable for several key aspects.
Firstly, this move allows White to potentially challenge Black's control of the center without creating any immediate threats. In other words, it opens up a file that could be used later in the game but doesn't put pressure on White right away.
Secondly, moving the pawn in front of the queen two spaces forward also prepares the way for future development of the piece itself by opening lines and potentially putting the piece in a better position to influence play. This move sets up Black's development plan for their other pieces and allows them to create space for movement in the long run.
Lastly, c5 is a strategic choice that could be seen as a form of delaying an attack or pressure, allowing White to find a more suitable moment to counterattack or exert control on the position. It doesn't commit to an aggressive line immediately but does take part in building tension and anticipation for what's to come.
