Xouplidis,Filippos vs. Seretis,Anastasios - 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 1-0
In the 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 on November 30, 2024, between Xouplidis, Filippos with white pieces and Seretis, Anastasios with black pieces, the move Qb8 was made by Black.
This move can be described as a choice to advance the queen's bishop towards an opponent's piece without considering potential captures or defensive opportunities. By doing so, it ignores the chance to capture material, miss out on a better escape from attack, and fail to provide additional protection for its underdefended position. Instead, this pawn advancement allows Black to develop the piece for active play, making it more mobile and potentially threatening White's position.
It is worth noting that by moving Qb8, Seretis creates a well-defended position for the queen's bishop, albeit not necessarily due to wise defensive considerations, but rather because it has been advanced into a relatively safe area.
