Divi Bijesh vs. Manya Abhishek Drolia - FIDE World School-ch G-11 2025 1-0
In the FIDE World School-ch G-11 2025 event on 2025.03.21, Divi Bijesh played a move that may have been a strategic misstep against Manya Abhishek Drolia's black pieces. The move in question was Qe5. This seemingly straightforward development of the queen misses an opportunity to put pressure on Black's position and instead proposes an equal exchange, which could potentially neutralize White's attacking chances.
Furthermore, by playing Qe5, Divi Bijesh also fails to reveal a potential attack on a key piece, allowing Manya Abhishek Drolia to react more easily. This oversight enables Black to kick the offending queen back with relative impunity.
It's worth noting that this move also prevents Divi Bijesh from escaping an impending attack, and creates a fork that attacks multiple pieces at once - though it's unclear whether this would have been advantageous in practice. Ultimately, the move Qe5 fails to develop the queen for active play, instead keeping it on the sidelines where it can do little to influence the outcome of the game.
