Ribeiro,Matheus Mendes Domin vs. Cordero,Daniela - BCS-Floripa Super Blitz 2025 1-0
In the game between Ribeiro, Matheus Mendes Domin (White) and Cordero, Daniela (Black), played at the BCS-Floripa Super Blitz 2025 on January 22, 2025, White's move Bc4 is notable for being a bold and aggressive choice. It threatens to gain material advantage by putting pressure on Black's position, but surprisingly ignores the stronger threat of capturing material.
Instead, White focuses on developing their bishop for active play, which allows for more mobility and control over the board. This move also blocks potential attacks from Black, making it harder for Daniela to counterattack. Furthermore, Bc4 helps defend against an attack on a piece that was previously exposed.
While this move does not provide better protection for an underdefended piece, it does help to develop White's bishop and puts more pressure on Black's position. Unfortunately, the move still misses opportunities for material exchanges and forcing Daniela to make a move, which could have led to further advantages for White.
Overall, Bc4 is a complex move that showcases White's willingness to take risks and challenge Black's control of the center.
