Belhaj,Nadhem vs. Cornette,Francois - Djerba Festival Open-B 2025 1/2-1/2
In the game of Nadhem Belhaj versus Francois Cornette at the Djerba Festival Open-B 2025 on 2025.02.18, Black's move Qe5 is a development move that aims to improve the queen's mobility and control over the center. The move misses an opportunity to threaten Black's pawn on e7, instead of focusing on attacking it directly.
The move also ignores a potential free capture opportunity with the knight on b8, which could have put pressure on White's position. Furthermore, Qe5 fails to reveal any attack on Black's queen, leaving it vulnerable to potential threats from White. This move does not provide an escape for the queen in case of a counter-attack by White.
Additionally, Qe5 does not force Francois Cornette to make a move, as it is a relatively passive development move that does not challenge White directly. The move does pin Black's pawn on e7, but this comes at the cost of missing other opportunities to develop pieces and control key squares in the center.
Overall, while Qe5 is an attempt to develop the queen and improve mobility, it falls short in achieving several key strategic objectives.
