Abed,Rashid vs. Mimkes,Pavel - Deutsche Unimeisterschaft 2024 0-1
In the Deutsche Unimeisterschaft 2024 on November 30, 2024, White player Abed Rashid made a notable move playing Qxb7 against Black player Mimkes Pavel. This move threatened to gain material by capturing one of Black's pieces. However, this could also lead to an equal trade as the capture might not have been necessary. By playing Qxb7, Abed Rashid left his queen without defenders, which is a risky maneuver. The move can be seen as ignoring the stronger threat posed by another piece on the board. On the other hand, it gave Abed Rashid the opportunity to develop his queen for active play. This particular move also forced Mimkes Pavel to make a response, gaining Abed Rashid some tempo advantage. Unfortunately, this move missed an opportunity for Abed Rashid to escape an attack and protect an underdefended piece.
