De Siqueira,Luigy Lira vs. Marra,Eduardo da Costa - 2nd Sampa STD Open 2025 1-0
In the 2nd Sampa STD Open 2025 on 2025.02.01, De Siqueira played a queen to the third rank, Qa3, which is a move that puts pressure on Marra's position and threatens to capture material.
This move ignores the stronger threat of capturing Marra's bishop with the white queen, instead focusing solely on developing the piece for active play.
By playing Qa3, De Siqueira misses an opportunity to take control of a strategic outpost and instead allows Marra's opponent piece to potentially gain an advantage by kicking it out.
At the same time, this move does develop the queen for future use in the game.
