Galvez Ruiz, Antonio vs. Mendoza Barcia, Mateo - Spanish Chess Championship u12 2024 1-0

In the Spanish Chess Championship U12 on July 10, 2024, Antonio Galvez Ruiz, playing white, made the move Bb5 against Mateo Mendoza Barcia. This move follows a capture and places the bishop on a more active and strategic position, occupying an important outpost. However, it misses the opportunity to optimize the bishop's mobility. While Bb5 defends an attacked piece and now ensures it is well protected, it also misses a chance for better protection of an underdefended piece. Additionally, this move fails to provide a more effective escape from potential attacks. Despite these drawbacks, Bb5 develops the piece with an eye towards active play, though it overlooks a better chance to develop another piece.
