Tomilova,Elena vs. Nomin-Erdene,Davaademberel - Asian Individual Womens-ch 2025 1-0

In the game between Elena Tomilova and Davaademberel Nomin-Erdene at the Asian Individual Womens-ch 2025 on 2025.05.08, Black's move Bd7 is notable for gaining a tempo advantage as it allows for more active bishop play. The move also forces White to make a piece move, potentially disrupting their plans. The characterization that this move "loses material in exchange" can be rephrased as: By playing Bd7, Black is putting their bishop at risk of being captured if White decides to attack it directly, which could be seen as a loss of material. However, the main effect of the move seems to be gaining tempo advantage and preparing for active play. This move does not "forces opponent piece move" but rather puts pressure on White's position, potentially leading them to make a move they might not have otherwise considered. It is unclear whether this move "allows opponent piece kick" as there is no information about specific pieces being used or potential counter-moves by White. The characterization that the move "develops piece for active play" seems most accurate, as Bd7 does indeed prepare Black's bishop for more active play and helps to develop their pawn structure.
