In the game between Hamidreza Ebrahimi Herab and Alireza Firouzja on October 8, 2024, the move Qc3 played by Black is notable for several reasons. This move overlooks a significant threat that could have been exploited by White. However, it compels White to respond, thus gaining a tempo advantage for Black. While it does manage to pin one of White's pieces, it fails to provide a better escape from an ongoing attack. Additionally, the move misses an opportunity to capture an open file that could have been advantageous. Although it develops a piece for more active play, it simultaneously neglects the chance to further develop other pieces effectively. Overall, Qc3 illustrates a complex interplay of tactical considerations in this high-stakes match.
