In the game between Lukas Potrafke and Max Lutze at the Krefelder Summer Open 2024 on August 1, 2024, Potrafke played the move Bb3. This move followed a capture and led to White losing material in exchange. By playing Bb3, Potrafke left the bishop without adequate protection and unnecessarily sacrificed the piece. The move missed an opportunity to enhance the bishop's mobility and failed to escape a looming attack. Instead of defending the piece under threat, Potrafke missed a chance to better protect an unguarded piece and develop the bishop for more active play. Overall, Bb3 blocked the opponent's attack but did not provide the optimal defense or development for White's position.
