Kalogridis, Themistoklis vs. Stathatos, Alexandros - Greek League 2024 0-1

In the game between Themistoklis Kalogridis and Alexandros Stathatos during the Greek League 2024 on July 10th, the move b4 by White was multifaceted. Although it develops a piece for active play and effectively defends an attacked piece, it misses the opportunity to threaten more effectively and to reveal an attack on a piece. This move also overlooks the chance to seize a winning tempo and allows the opponent to kick a piece. Furthermore, it fails to force an enemy move and misses better protection for an underdefended piece. By playing b4, White also misses the chance to develop a different piece and to defend an unprotected piece better. Despite these missed opportunities, the move does manage to ensure that the piece on b4 is well-defended.
