Chanda,Sandipan vs. Gaikwad Manas - 2nd Namma Bengaluru Open-A 2025 1/2-1/2
In the 2nd Namma Bengaluru Open-A 2025 chess match between Chanda Sandipan and Gaikwad Manas on April 12, 2025, Black's move Qc1 can be analyzed as follows: By playing Qc1, Black is essentially moving their queen to a position where it doesn't immediately threaten White's pieces or control the center of the board. This move ignores a potential threat that could have been addressed earlier in the game. Furthermore, by choosing this square, Black misses an opportunity to reveal an attack on a specific piece, allowing White to potentially kick it out. Additionally, Qc1 does not provide a good escape route for White's pieces under attack, as Black fails to adequately protect their own position. Lastly, this move doesn't offer much protection for the underdefended piece that will be in the line of fire soon, and it also prevents Black from developing any other piece effectively.
