Ronaj,Filip vs. Chlpek,Daniel - Modransky Cup 2025 0-1
In the Modransky Cup 2025 on February 20th, Ronaj played Be3 with white against Chlpek in black. This move deviates from traditional principles by exchanging material without a clear strategic justification. It leaves the bishop unguarded and vulnerable to potential attacks. By not supporting the bishop, Ronaj misses an opportunity to create a stronger presence on the board. The choice also ignores the potential threat of Black's pieces developing in the center. Additionally, sacrificing this piece unnecessarily limits white's flexibility for future moves.
The move can be seen as a missed chance to reveal an attacking plan or gain a strategic advantage. Instead, it allows Chlpek to prepare their defense and potentially kick Ronaj's bishop. Failing to secure better protection for the under-defended piece is also evident in this choice. Furthermore, Be3 fails to develop the piece in a manner that would facilitate active play and put pressure on Black's position.
It can be argued that by playing Be3, Ronaj has allowed Chlpek to dictate the flow of the game, failing to seize a winning tempo or create an optimal attacking chance.
