Weimert,Miriam vs. Vujovic,Milan V - Deutsche Unimeisterschaft 2024 1-0
In the Deutsche Unimeisterschaft 2024 on November 30th, a crucial moment occurred when Miriam Weimert played the move Bg2+, advancing her bishop on the long diagonal towards Milan Vujovic's position. This choice allowed her to occupy an important outpost, gaining a tempo advantage as she prepares for potential future developments.
By playing this move, Weimert misses the opportunity to threaten directly and instead forces Vujovic to respond, potentially setting up a more active piece in the process. The bishop's advancement on the diagonal also means that Weimert is developing her piece for active play, rather than allowing it to remain undeveloped.
In contrast, this move could have been used to reveal an attack on a piece, putting pressure on Vujovic and forcing him to make a defensive move. However, by choosing Bg2+, Weimert prioritizes occupying the outpost over using the opportunity to force Vujovic's hand.
On reflection, it can be argued that this move does not fully capitalize on the superior threat chance offered by other options, instead opting for a more positional approach that may not yield the desired result.
