Anuj Shrivatri vs. Bristy Mukherjee - 2nd Namma Bengaluru Open-A 2025 1-0
In the 2nd Namma Bengaluru Open-A 2025 chess game between Anuj Shrivatri playing with white pieces versus Bristy Mukherjee playing with black pieces on April 10, 2025, a pivotal move was made by Black: Qxc7.
This move effectively neutralizes an attacking piece, while simultaneously gaining control over the material. By doing so, it secures a free piece that can be utilized for future attacks or defensive maneuvers. Furthermore, this move sets up Bristy Mukherjee's queen to be better protected, allowing her to focus on other aspects of the game.
However, by playing Qxc7, Black misses an opportunity to reveal potential threats against pieces that are currently underdefended or unprotected, which might have led to a more proactive approach. Additionally, this move fails to pin down Anuj Shrivatri's piece, potentially allowing him to regroup and counterattack in the future.
It is worth noting that playing Qxc7 does not necessarily lead to a better defense for the attacked piece, as it may actually weaken the overall defensive structure of Black's position.
