Black's 2 bishops can be very strong and Deethya has seen that the dark squared bishop has very few safe squares} Bf2 (1...Bb5 {was possible and when White's rook on e8 moves it will give Black's dark squared bishops extra squares to choose from}) 2.Rd2 Bh4 {This looks like the only safe move for Black but it loses the bishop} (2...Rc7 {Saves the bishop because of back rank mate threats}) 3.g3 {Now White's pawns trap the poor bishop} Bg5 4.f4 {White's pawns do an amazing job. On dark squares they trap one bishop, while the other bishop can never attack any White pawn.} Bxf4 {Black's trapped bishop sacrifices itself for a White pawn, but it is not enough} 5.gxf4 {With rook ofr bishop, and an extra pawn, Deethya went on to win this game, and all 9 games in the Victorian Junior Primary division} {#r} 1-0
