Charkhalashvili,Inga vs. Maisuradze,Nino - European Women Blitz-ch 2024 1/2-1/2
In the European Women Blitz-ch 2024 on January 10, 2025, player Maisuradze, Nino, played a bold move, Qb2, which threatened to capture material, suggesting an equal trade, but ultimately ignored the stronger threat from her opponent's Queen.
This move proposed an immediate piece exchange, but failed to reveal an underlying attack on one of her pieces, forcing Black to respond by moving that piece, thereby gaining a tempo advantage over White.
However, Maisuradze's Qb2 did not seize the winning tempo she could have had, allowing her opponent to potentially kick the Queen back.
Moreover, she missed the chance to escape her opponent's attack and instead failed to force an enemy move, which would have taken control of the center of the board.
Maisuradze also missed the opportunity to pin one of White's pieces, specifically the Queen, to her own king, creating a fork that could have attacked multiple pieces at once.
