Irlik, Andrzej vs. Lange, Torsten - FIDE World Senior Team Chess Championships 65+ 2024 1/2-1/2

In the game between Andrzej Irlik with the white pieces and Torsten Lange playing as black in the FIDE World Senior Team Chess Championships 65+ 2024 on July 10, 2024, the move Bc4 was notable. This move enhances the activity of the bishop, seeking to exert influence across the board. It also facilitates the connection of the rooks, aiming for coordinated play in the middlegame. However, it overlooks an opportunity to develop another piece effectively, potentially delaying a harmonious piece deployment. By placing the bishop on c4, White opts for a proactive role, aiming to exert immediate pressure and influence on the board.
