Narva,Mai vs. Maisuradze,Nino - European Women Rapid-ch 2024 0-1
In the European Women's Rapid-ch 2024 event on January 11, 2025, White player Narva,Mai made a strategic move by playing Bf4. This bishop move brings more activity to the board, as it prepares to potentially attack Black's position with greater force in the future. By placing the bishop on this square, Narva,Mai is also connecting her rooks for potential synergy and long-term attacking play. Additionally, the bishop now has a better position to kick Black's pieces, making them more vulnerable to attacks. However, it appears that the move could have provided better protection for an underdefended piece if executed earlier. Furthermore, this move blocks an opponent attack that was initially anticipated, which can be seen as a missed opportunity in terms of defensive play. Overall, Narva,Mai's bishop development on f4 is a part of her active playing style and allows for more dynamic attacking possibilities down the line.
