Ramoutar,Alan-Safar vs. Muthaiah AL - SixDays Budapest January GM-A 2025 1/2-1/2

In the game between Ramoutar and Alan-Safar versus Muthaiah AL at the SixDays Budapest January GM-A 2025 event on 2025.01.27, a notable move by Black was Be8. This move resulted in missing an opportunity to launch a strong attack from a strategic position, as it did not effectively utilize the piece's potential for rapid development and attacking play. Moreover, Be8 revealed a blocked attack that was previously hidden, indicating that Black had a better understanding of their own piece mobility than Ramoutar initially thought. This awareness could have led to more effective use of other pieces to support the attacked side of the board. In contrast to developing their bishop for active play, this move actually developed the knight into a relatively passive role, potentially hindering Ramoutar's ability to coordinate their attacks effectively.
