Stremavicius, Pijus vs. Kogan, Arthur - Hiiumaa Brewery Rapid Open 2024 1/2-1/2
In the Hiiumaa Brewery Rapid Open 2024 on June 4, in a game between Stremavicius, Pijus with the white pieces and Kogan, Arthur with the black pieces, White played the move Bxh5. This move involves capturing an opponent's piece, thereby winning material. However, it also results in White losing material in the exchange. The move leaves the bishop without defenders, making it vulnerable. Additionally, it overlooks an opportunity to create a threat and ignores a superior chance to attack. By making this move, White misses a chance to reveal an attack on an opponent's piece and fails to maximize the bishop's mobility. Furthermore, it bypasses an opportunity to escape an impending attack. While the move does recapture a previously taken piece and develops the bishop for active play, it also misses a chance to develop another piece more effectively.
