Dronavalli,Harika vs. Koneru,Humpy - FIDE Women GP Monaco 2024-25 0-1
In the game between Harika Dronavalli and Humpy Koneru of FIDE Women GP Monaco 2024-25 on February 18, 2025, White's move Nc1 was made by Harika. This move allowed her to develop a piece for active play, but it missed the opportunity to threaten an immediate attack on Black's position.
The move Nc1 also failed to reveal any potential weaknesses in Black's pawn structure or create pressure on Black's position. Additionally, it did not force Humpy to make an early move, which could have given White more control over the center of the board. Furthermore, by moving only one square forward, Harika may have been playing for long-term development rather than immediate attacking chances.
It is worth noting that the game was still in its opening phase when this move was made, and it would be expected for a player to take more time to develop their pieces and assess the position.
