Remediaki,Sofia Niki vs. Kiryttopoulos,Ioannis - 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 0-1
In the 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 on November 30, 2024, Sofia Niki made a move that would have far-reaching consequences for her position. She played bxc4 with white pieces, capturing an attacking piece (eliminating the threat). However, this move comes at a cost, as it results in the loss of material (material is exchanged). Furthermore, by making this capture, she ignores a superior threat chance that may have been more advantageous (missing an opportunity to gain more). The move also allows Ioannis Kiryttopoulos' piece to kick back (enabling a potential counterattack), and Sofia Niki misses the chance to protect her underdefended piece (failing to safeguard it). Additionally, she fails to develop another piece that could be utilized for active play. Nevertheless, bxc4 does develop her c4-pawn, positioning it for future use in her active play.
