Baluh,Alina vs. Filippskikh,Oleksii - Lviv Rapid Championship 2024 1/2-1/2
In the game between Alina Baluh and Oleksii Filippskikh at the Lviv Rapid Championship on October 27, 2024, the move Qe5 played by Black has several notable implications. This move threatens a material gain, but it overlooks a more pressing threat that could have been addressed. Additionally, it fails to capitalize on an opportunity to launch an attack on one of White's pieces. By playing Qe5, Black misses a chance to seize the initiative, allowing White to respond effectively. The move also permits White to displace one of Black's pieces, which could have been avoided with a better choice. While the queen is now well defended, it does not provide optimal protection for another piece that remains vulnerable. Furthermore, Qe5 does not take advantage of a potential forcing move that could have compelled an unfavorable response from White. Although it develops the queen for more active play, it ultimately neglects an opportunity for better piece development and coordination.
