Aizenberg,Benny vs. Rodshtein,Maxim - Israel Team Championship 2025 1/2-1/2
In the Israel Team Championship 2025 on 2025.01.10 between Benny Aizenberg (White) and Maxim Rodshtein (Black), the move Bg2 is notable for gaining tempo advantage as it develops a piece that will be active in play. This move also misses the opportunity to escape an attack, which could have been addressed by developing other pieces or controlling key central squares.
Additionally, this bishop's advance on its long diagonal creates an imbalance in pawn structure and forces Black to respond, potentially leading to material gain for White. The move can be seen as a strategic choice, but one that overlooks the importance of securing a strong foundation before launching a full-scale attack.
