Deas,Chance Noah vs. Ma,Jin - Marshall CC U2400 02-2025 1-0
In the Marshall CC U2400 tournament on 2025.02.23, the game between Deas (White) and Ma (Black) features a notable move by Black, Be6, played by Ma. This move aims to challenge White's central control and potentially create counterplay.
The move Be6 can be characterized as creating a fork, attacking multiple pieces - as it puts pressure on White's position. However, an alternative characterization is that it develops the bishop for active play. The move also forces White to make a piece move, potentially gaining some tempo advantage.
Additionally, the move ignores the superior threat chance posed by White's central pawn storm. Yet another way to describe this move is that it misses the opportunity to escape attack. Furthermore, Be6 can be seen as making a material sacrifice in exchange for potential counterplay.
