Alboredo, Julia vs. Harshavardhan G B - September 03 Late 2024 0-1

The move Qc2 played by Julia Alboredo with the white pieces against Harshavardhan G B in the September 03 Late 2024 event on 2024.09.03 is a developing move that brings the queen to an active position on the c2-square. However, it also has some drawbacks. The move follows a capture, potentially threatening to win material. While it ignores a superior threat opportunity, it also overlooks a chance to reveal an attack on an opponent's piece. Additionally, it allows the opponent's piece to be kicked away and misses an opportunity to escape an attack on one of Alboredo's own pieces. Despite these potential issues, the queen is now well-defended on c2, and the move blocks an opponent's attack. Alboredo may have missed a favorable material exchange and a chance to develop another piece, but the move still contributes to active play.
