Cramling Bellon, Anna vs. Nguyen, Khoi - Menorca Open 2024 1/2-1/2

In the Menorca Open 2024 on April 6, 2024, during a match between Anna Cramling Bellon and Khoi Nguyen, Anna, playing with white pieces, executed the move b8=Q. This move presents a formidable threat, aiming for a material win by promoting the pawn to a queen. However, it overlooks the opportunity to counter a more significant threat posed by the opponent. Furthermore, it misses the chance to launch an attack on an opponent's piece, thereby allowing for potential counterplay. Additionally, the move fails to defend an unprotected piece, potentially leaving it vulnerable to capture. Despite these shortcomings, b8=Q effectively pins the opponent's piece, exerting pressure and restricting its mobility. Moreover, it places the newly promoted queen in a position to threaten imminent checkmate, showcasing the tactical depth of Anna's play.
