Zadravec,Matija vs. Pap,Misa - 29th Bosnjaci Open 2025 0-1
In the 29th Bosnjaci Open 2025 on January 6, 2025, between Matija Zadravec playing with white pieces and Misa Pap playing with black pieces, White's move d6 is made. This advance of the passed pawn allows Black to potentially kick one of White's pieces out of the way, making it a double-edged play.
The main drawback of this move is that it fails to provide better escape options for White's attacked piece, leaving it somewhat exposed. At the same time, the d6 pawn does defend against the attack on White's attacked piece, offering some level of protection.
Furthermore, the pawn now occupies a key square that can potentially be used to support an attack on Black's underdefended pieces, but this opportunity is missed. On the other hand, the move does develop one of White's pieces for active play, which could lead to future gains.
