Berend,Elvira vs. Tsolakidou,Stavroula - European Women Rapid-ch 2024 0-1
In the European Women Rapid-ch 2024 on January 11, 2025, White player Berend made a seemingly impulsive move, playing a3. This move appears to ignore potential threats from Black's position, as it fails to acknowledge the more promising knight development opportunity. By advancing the pawn on a3, Berend gains a tempo advantage, allowing for quicker development of their pieces. However, this move also forces Stavroula Tsolakidou to respond with her bishop, potentially weakening her defensive capabilities. Unfortunately, Berend misses an opportunity to reveal an attack on a key piece, making it difficult to assess the full impact of this move.
