Tarhan,Adar vs. Yang,Siyuan - FIDE World Junior U20-ch Open 2025 1-0
In the FIDE World Junior U20-ch Open 2025 game between Tarhan Adar playing with white pieces versus Yang Siyuan playing with black pieces on 2025.02.25, White's move Bxe4 is a capture that gains material by removing a piece from the board. This choice results in a free piece that can be used for future plays. However, instead of pursuing a better material exchange, White opts to keep the captured piece, potentially limiting its value. By doing so, White gains an extra bishop on the board, but misses out on the opportunity to capture additional material.
This decision also allows White's bishop to occupy an important outpost, which can become a strong point in the position. Furthermore, by not capturing the material, White may have missed a chance to further develop one of its pieces. Nonetheless, Bxe4 is a move that develops White's piece for active play and sets the stage for future strategic moves.
