Atar,Semih Akif vs. Cetinalp,Poyraz - DVM U12 2024 1-0
In the game between Atar and Semih Akif versus Cetinalp and Poyraz in event DVM U12 2024 on December 30, 2024, Black's move Bb7 is notable for being an early sacrifice of material. This move relinquishes a pawn in exchange for developing the bishop. However, the bishop's advancement may be seen as somewhat passive compared to its optimal long diagonal movement.
In terms of mobility, the bishop's position on b7 limits its potential for future active play. Furthermore, this move appears to offer no significant protection for the underdefended piece. The move does block a potential attack by White, but it also prevents Black from taking advantage of a better defensive arrangement with their other pieces.
One might argue that the sacrifice could have been mitigated by finding alternative ways to develop the bishop or advancing one of their pawns to provide additional protection for the underdefended piece. Overall, while Bb7 does develop the bishop, its execution may not be optimal for Black's position in this specific game.
