In the game between Watchel and FRITZBOT Lucy in the Jackpot event on April 15th, 2025, at 20:15 CET, black's move Bb7 is noteworthy for several strategic considerations.
The move Bb7 can be seen as a missed opportunity to threaten white's position, potentially altering the course of the game. Furthermore, by playing this move, black ignores the more promising threat chance presented by another option, which could have led to a more favorable outcome. By advancing their bishop on this long diagonal, black also fails to seize a winning tempo, allowing white to maintain control of the center.
Moreover, by developing their bishop in this way, black neglects to reveal an attack on a key piece, potentially exposing it to counter-attack. Additionally, this move does not effectively utilize the knight's more promising development, instead opting for a less active approach. Overall, the choice of Bb7 is characterized by a lack of proactive play and missed chances to force white into responding in a particular way.
It's worth noting that developing this piece in such an early stage of the game can also be seen as a missed chance for better piece advancement.
