Fiorito,Fabian vs. Alsina Leal,Daniel - 17th Memorial Lezcano Montalvo 2025 0-1
In the game between Fabian Fiorito and Daniel Alsina Leal at the 17th Memorial Lezcano Montalvo 2025 event on April 15, 2025, Black's move Qe5 is notable for failing to capitalize on a potential threat by missing an opportunity to launch a more aggressive attack.
Instead of seizing the initiative, Black's move proposes a relatively even exchange, suggesting a trade of pieces that might not necessarily lead to a favorable outcome. By doing so, Fiorito gains a tempo advantage over his opponent.
However, the most significant criticism of Qe5 is that it ignores the superior threat chance presented by white's pawn on e4 and forces Alsina Leal to respond to the move, potentially giving Fiorito an opportunity for counterplay.
Furthermore, Black's move does not take full advantage of the attack on the queen, which could have been more effective in putting pressure on Fiorito's position.
