Christodoulakis,Michail Em vs. Sasso,Nikolaos Dimitrios L - 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 0-1
In the 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 event on November 29, 2024, White player Christodoulakis played Qb3 against Black player Sasso. This move allows White to develop a piece while potentially gaining an advantage in active play.
However, this development comes at the cost of losing material upfront, as it involves sacrificing a pawn or other small pieces for immediate benefits.
Furthermore, by playing Qb3, White misses an opportunity to threaten Black's position more directly and aggressively, instead opting for a more cautious approach that may not fully utilize the piece's potential.
Moreover, Christodoulakis fails to capitalize on the threat of counterplay against White's own position, which could have led to greater complications and risks for Black.
Additionally, by moving Qb3, White also misses the chance to better protect an underdefended piece by diverting attention away from it and towards a more developed part of the board.
Ultimately, Qb3 is a move that allows the queen to participate in active play but comes with significant drawbacks, including poor material exchange, missed attack chances, and underdeveloped support.
