In the game between Turski and Ioannidis at EICC 2025 on March 18, 2025, Black's move b6 was played by Ioannidis. This move resulted in several missed opportunities for Ioannidis. By playing b6, Ioannidis failed to seize a potential threat against one of his pawns, instead ignoring the stronger threat from White's position.

The move also prevented Ioannidis from forcing White into an unfavorable response, as he had the opportunity to develop a piece for active play.

Furthermore, the move ceded control of the center and weakened Black's pawn structure, potentially allowing White to gain an advantage. The choice of b6 also meant that Ioannidis missed the opportunity to escape an impending attack on one of his pieces, highlighting a momentary lapse in defensive awareness.
Lastly, by opting for the simple move b6, Ioannidis did not take full advantage of the tempo created earlier in the game, potentially leaving him with less time and resources to address White's subsequent moves.
