In the 21st Open Gran Hotel Bali-A 2024 tournament on November 29th, 2024, between players Wirig (White) and Shah Jeet (Black), a noteworthy move was played by Black: b4. This aggressive opening play could be seen as an attempt to gain strategic leverage, but ultimately it may have been better served by equalizing the material balance with a trade of pieces instead of taking risks.
