Balafoutis,Ilias vs. Farmakis,Ioannis K - 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 1-0
In the 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 on November 30, 2024, White player Balafoutis,Ilias played a bold move by advancing his bishop to Bb5. This move puts pressure on Black's position, as it threatens to gain material advantage. However, in doing so, Ilias's bishop is now well supported and defended. Unfortunately, this move misses the opportunity to provide better protection for an underdefended piece. By playing Bb5, Ilias also blocks a potential attack from Black, which suggests that he is prioritizing short-term gains over long-term strategic considerations. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether this move will ultimately pay off for White in the game against Farmakis,Ioannis K.
