Bitan,Banerjee vs. von Schickh,Hagen - Deutsche Unimeisterschaft 2024 1-0

In the Deutsche Unimeisterschaft 2024 on November 30, 2024, player Bitan Banerjee made a move that raised concerns about his strategy: Qb8. This move resulted in the loss of material without a clear benefit, as it sacrificed a valuable piece unnecessarily. By playing Qb8, Bitan missed an opportunity to force his opponent's move and gain an advantage. The queen's decision to remain stationary on b8 also meant that Bitan failed to develop the piece for active play, instead holding back its potential for attacking or defending. Furthermore, this move ignored a more promising threat chance and allowed von Schickh Hagen to maintain control of the center without counter-attack.
