Divya Deshmukh vs. Zhu,Jiner - FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 0-1
In the FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 event on December 30, 2024, White player Divya Deshmukh made a move with her rook that followed a capture, aiming to propose an equal trade of pieces. However, this move missed the opportunity to capture a strategic outpost in favor of more solid defensive play. It allowed Black's opponent piece to kick, which was a favorable development for Zhu,Jiner's position. Furthermore, this choice effectively prevented Divya from capturing a vulnerable piece that would have required her to escape an attack by Zhu. In contrast, Divya chose to defend the attacked piece, positioning it in a relatively safe manner. Unfortunately, this move did not provide sufficient protection for the underdefended piece on d3. Nevertheless, it successfully blocked an opponent's attack by Zhu. Ultimately, this move enabled Divya to develop her rook piece for active play in the game.
