Arush A vs. Raveesh Kote - 2nd Namma Bengaluru Open-B 2025 1/2-1/2
In the 2nd Namma Bengaluru Open-B 2025 chess game between Arush A playing with white pieces and Raveesh Kote playing with black pieces on April 11, 2025, Black's move Qa3 is notable for being a proactive choice that deviates from the expected path.
Black's move Qa3 threatens material gain by putting pressure on White's position. However, instead of capitalizing on this threat, it ignores the more powerful attack chance and proposes an equal piece trade. This decision misses the opportunity to reveal the underlying attack on a piece.
By playing Qa3, Black also forces White to respond with a piece move. Furthermore, by developing their queen, they gain flexibility in their future moves.
