Costa,Leonardo vs. Peng,Hongchi - SixDays Budapest GM-A 11-2024 1/2-1/2

In the game between Costa, Leonardo (White) and Peng, Hongchi (Black) at the SixDays Budapest GM-A on November 23, 2024, White played the move Qd5. This pawn push sacrifices material, forcing Black to respond to the piece's movement. By doing so, it potentially opens up lines for further development. However, it could be seen as an unnecessary sacrifice, as it leaves other squares unattended and doesn't immediately address any pressing threats on the board. The move also fails to take advantage of potential passed pawns or attacking opportunities.
