Wagh Suyog vs. Schekachikhin,Maksim - 3rd Maharashtra GM Open 2025 1-0
In the 3rd Maharashtra GM Open 2025 event on 2025.04.23, Wagh Suyog played the move dxc6 with white against Schekachikhin,Maksim with black. This pawn exchange appears to be a somewhat reckless decision, as it results in losing material without gaining any significant advantages.
The move also seems to create a passed pawn, which could potentially lead to some complications down the line. However, it's worth noting that this pawn does not immediately gain an advantage, and its future development is uncertain.
It would have been more prudent for Wagh Suyog to avoid this exchange altogether, especially considering the potential risks of opening up a file for Black to attack.
Instead, he chose to develop his d-pawn, potentially creating space for his pieces to maneuver. However, it's unclear if this development was necessary or if there were alternative moves that could have achieved the same goal without sacrificing material.
Overall, the move dxc6 seems like a missed opportunity for Wagh Suyog, as he could have potentially protected one of his more underdefended pieces instead.
