In the game between Fabiano Caruana and Alexey Sarana during the Main Event on July 31, 2024, Sarana played the move Qg5. This move initiates an offer for exchanging pieces and compels Caruana to make a move with his piece. It provides Sarana with a tempo advantage by forcing White to respond. However, the move overlooks a chance to evade an ongoing attack. By playing Qg5, Sarana pins one of Caruana’s pieces to his king, which may create strategic opportunities. The move also contributes to Sarana's active piece development, but it misses the opportunity to further develop another piece.
