Uimonen,Matti vs. Hardicsay,Peter - FIDE WSTC Open 65 2025 1/2-1/2

In the FIDE WSTC Open 65 tournament on February 18, 2025, Matti Uimonen played with white pieces against Peter Hardicsay, who responded with c5 as black. This move allows his opponent's knight to be kicked out of the position, potentially disrupting White's central control and pawn structure. By playing c5, Black misses the opportunity to escape an attack on his queen, which might have been more advantageous than engaging in a potentially complex defense. Furthermore, the move fails to develop any piece actively, leaving Black with limited mobility and response options.
