Zhou,Yang-Fan vs. Ostensen,Nicolai Maxime - Fagernes Chess GM-Swiss 2025 1-0
In the Fagernes Chess GM-Swiss 2025 event on 2025.04.15, between players Zhou Yang-Fan with white pieces and Ostensen Nicolai Maxime with black pieces, the move c6 played by Black follows a capture move, resulting in the loss of material. This exchange leaves the piece without any defensive support.
The move also fails to threaten any potential attacking position, instead choosing to sacrifice the piece unnecessarily. Furthermore, it misses the opportunity to reveal an attack on the opponent's piece or escape from an impending attack.
However, the c6 move does develop the Black piece, preparing it for active play in the game. The piece is now well defended due to its new placement, which might prevent any potential threats. Unfortunately, this development also means that the piece loses better protection options since it has been placed without considering alternative defensive positions.
As a result, the c6 move by Black can be seen as a less-than-ideal choice in the given context of the game.
