In the Spanish Chess Championship U18 on August 1, 2024, Benseny Martinez, playing with the black pieces, played the move Qb6. This move creates a threat of winning material, as the queen’s placement exerts pressure. While this move connects the rooks, enhancing their synergy, it overlooks a more immediate threat from White. Additionally, it misses the opportunity for a favorable exchange of pieces and does not capitalize on a potential advantageous material exchange. The move does, however, advance the queen to a more active position, which can be beneficial for future play.
