In the Reykjavik Open 2025 on 2025.04.12, White player Felix Borne made a bold move playing Qxb7, which follows a capture move. This action develops a piece for active play. The move creates a fork, attacking multiple pieces.
By playing Qxb7, Felix ignores the potential threat of his own knight being kicked by Niels Willems, who could have gained an advantage. However, Felix chooses to focus on gaining material instead. The move also allows White to put pressure on Black's position without fully considering the opportunity to escape or protect a weaker piece.
Unfortunately for Felix, this move overlooks the potential value of his own queen's development and active play in the game. Unfortunately, Felix misses an opportunity to develop his queen piece actively.
