Wernke-Schmiesing,Sebastian vs. Kellner,Rene - Bremer Silvester Open-B 2024 1/2-1/2
In the game between Wernke-Schmiesing and Kellner-Rene at the Bremer Silvester Open-B 2024 on December 30, 2024, the move Bf3 played by White is notable for its emphasis on developing a piece, as it deploys the bishop to an active position. This move allows for more flexibility in future moves, potentially gaining tempo advantages. However, it may also be seen as sacrificing material, as it gives up control of the center without immediate compensation.
Regarding specific characterizations, the move could be rephrased as follows: White ignores a potential threat chance by not attacking Black's position directly on this move; instead, they choose to focus on developing their piece. The bishop is used to advance on its diagonal and put pressure on Black, but this might have been achieved with a more straightforward attack.
Furthermore, the bishop does gain tempo by moving early in the game, which could potentially be used to launch an attack later on.
