Balabayeva,Xeniya vs. Kairbekova,Amina - FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 1-0

In the FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 event on December 30, 2024, Xeniya Balabayeva played Qa5, a move that puts pressure on her opponent's position by threatening material gain. This move forces Amina Kairbekova to respond and make a decision about how to develop her piece. By playing Qa5, Xeniya gains a tempo advantage over her opponent, allowing her to potentially develop other pieces more quickly. Unfortunately, the move does miss an opportunity to fully develop one of her pieces, suggesting that it might be somewhat less than optimal in terms of overall development.
