Kotliar,Anfisa vs. Doersieb,Bianca - AUT-ch U18-Girls 2025 1/2-1/2
In the game between Kotliar and Doersieb at the AUT-ch U18-Girls 2025 event on April 13, 2025, White's move Be3 was made. This response to Black's previous capture attempt is a bold and aggressive choice that puts pressure on the position by gaining a material advantage, but it also loses a valuable pawn in exchange.
By playing Be3, White gains a more active bishop, which can potentially connect with other pieces to create synergy with the rooks. However, this move also reveals blocked attacks, as Black's previous capture attempt may have been intended to gain an advantage on the board that is now lost.
Furthermore, White fails to seize the winning tempo of the game and misses opportunities to escape attacks or defend unprotected pieces. Instead, they choose to develop their piece for active play, but this move also creates a fork, attacking multiple pieces simultaneously.
Overall, Be3 seems like an overly optimistic response to Black's capture attempt, as it ignores superior threat chances and proposes equal piece trades without considering the long-term implications of such a move.
