Zhou,Yang-Fan vs. Gallana,Marco - XTX Markets London Masters 2024 1-0
In the 2024 XTX Markets London Masters chess match on November 30, 2024, between Marco Gallana playing with black pieces against Yang-Fan Zhou playing with white pieces, a notable move was made by Black: Bg4+. This aggressive play forces White's opponent to move their queen away from the board. By doing so, it gains an early tempo advantage for Black, allowing them to exert pressure on White without wasting time to develop other pieces. However, this move comes at the cost of not developing one of Black's key pieces, potentially leaving it somewhat exposed and vulnerable to attack.
