Pousada Garcia,Victor Daniel vs. Felmery,Mate - SixDays Budapest IM-C 11-2024 1/2-1/2

In the SixDays Budapest IM-C 11-2024 chess match between Victor Daniel (Pousada Garcia) playing with white pieces versus Mate Felmery playing with black pieces on November 24, 2024, Black played Ba7, a move that allows White's opponent to kick their attacked piece. This move fails to better escape from the attack and instead defends the attacked piece by placing it on a relatively safe square. The piece is now well protected, but this comes at the cost of missing a better opportunity for protection elsewhere. Furthermore, Black misses a chance to develop one of their pieces more actively. However, Ba7 does develop the knight for active play, which might be seen as a benefit in certain situations.
