This follows capture, suggesting that Black is responding to a previously captured piece.

Unfortunately, Black misses the chance to reveal an attack on one of White's pieces, which could have led to a more significant gain. By playing Qe7, Black forces White to move a piece, gaining a temporary tempo advantage. However, this advantage is short-lived as it fails to seize winning tempo, allowing White to potentially counterattack. Furthermore, the move allows White to kick an opponent's piece out of the way, creating complications for Black. Additionally, Black misses the opportunity to escape the attack by playing Qe7, leaving itself vulnerable to further counterattacks. Finally, the move creates a fork, attacking multiple pieces and offering potential winning opportunities, although it is ultimately missed by Black. Overall, Qe7 is a complex move that highlights the strategic challenges faced by Black in this position.
