In the European Women Blitz-ch 2024 on 2025.01.10 between Maltsevskaya,Aleksandra playing with white pieces versus Garcia Martin,Marta playing with black pieces, the move b4 was played by Black. This move missed an opportunity to gain a strategic advantage, instead allowing White to maintain control of the center without being challenged. By not taking advantage of the free capture on this square, Black also failed to reveal any potential attack on their piece, keeping it vulnerable. Furthermore, the move did not lead to capturing an outpost, which would have provided additional mobility and flexibility for Black's pieces. Additionally, the exchange of pieces was not favorable, as the move did not create any clear material advantage or open up new lines for counterplay. Notably, Black defended their piece, making it well-protected but also limiting its potential to play actively on the board. Ultimately, the move missed the chance to establish better protection for an underdefended piece, which would have improved overall defensive solidity.
