In the game between Mai Narva (White) and Julia Antolak (Black) at the Kavala Chess Tournament A on July 31, 2024, Black's move Be7 showcased several strategic elements. By playing Be7, Black developed the bishop for active play, enhancing its position on the board. This move also posed an immediate threat of material gain, compelling White to respond and move a piece to counter the threat. Additionally, Be7 gained a tempo advantage by forcing White into a defensive stance. Although this move made the bishop more active, it missed the opportunity to capture an outpost, a more aggressive positional advantage. Finally, while Be7 advanced the bishop into play, it did overlook the chance to develop another piece that might have contributed to Black's overall position.
