Spanton,Tim R vs. Moen,Ole Christian - FIDE WSTC Open 65 2025 1/2-1/2

In the FIDE WSTC Open 65 event on 2025.02.17, White player Spanton made a move starting with c4, which can be seen as an attempt to develop his pawn in front of his king's rook, but instead chose to place it in front of the queen's knight. This move allows for quick development and potentially creates space for other pieces to maneuver. However, it also means that the knight is now somewhat isolated and less able to influence the center of the board. The game continues with Black player Moen responding to White's move, and the situation on the c4 square becomes a key point in the development of the rest of the game.
