Valsamidis,Efstathios vs. Kallaras,Georgios - 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 1-0
In the 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 event on November 30, 2024, between Valsamidis,Efstathios (white) and Kallaras,Georgios (black), Black played a surprising Be7 move.
This move involves giving up material in exchange, which is an unusual decision.
It leaves the knight without defenders, putting it at risk of being captured by White's pieces.
In contrast to this analysis, Black ignores the stronger threat posed by White's attack, instead choosing to sacrifice the knight unnecessarily.
Moreover, Black fails to seize the opportunity to escape the danger, which could have been a safer route.
However, the bishop on e7 is now well-defended, thanks to the pawn in front of it.
Instead of providing additional protection for the underdefended knight, Black develops this piece for active play, possibly intending to use it later in the game.
