Jaiswal,Sanskrit vs. Rajesh,V A V - 2nd Namma Bengaluru Open-A 2025 0-1
In the 2nd Namma Bengaluru Open-A 2025 on 2025.04.11, White player Jaiswal made a bold move by playing Bxd5+, which eliminates an attacking piece by taking it off the board. This move also wins material for White, as Black's knight is now lost and cannot be recovered. The exchange of pieces results in a relatively equal trade, but White gains a slight advantage by leaving its bishop with no defenders to protect it. By making this move, Jaiswal forces Rajesh, playing with the black pieces, to respond with a piece movement, which could potentially open up new attacking opportunities for White.
This particular move also gains tempo advantage for White, as Black is now on the back foot and must devote time to responding to the loss of material. However, by playing Bxd5+, Jaiswal misses an opportunity to defend Rajesh's unprotected knight, which was previously in a vulnerable position. On the other hand, this move blocks any potential attack that might have come from Black's pieces, allowing White to maintain control of the center of the board.
