Gevorgyan,David Sh. vs. Jevtic,Slobodan - 37th Belgrade Trophy 2024 1-0
In the 37th Belgrade Trophy 2024 on November 23rd, David Sh. playing with white pieces made a move that eliminated an attacking piece by capturing it with his queen, effectively taking material away from Black's position. This move ignores the threat of a potential stronger attack and instead frees up the piece for potential future development.
The Queen's move also fails to capitalize on an opportunity for a free capture, missing out on the chance to further strengthen White's position. Conversely, it allows Slobodan Jevtic, playing with Black pieces, to kick an opponent's piece that was previously vulnerable.
However, instead of defending one of its own protected pieces, Gevorgyan's move misses an opportunity to safeguard an underdefended piece from potential attack.
By playing this move, Gevorgyan defends against the captured attacking piece, making it better defended but potentially creating a better setup for a future attack on Slobodan Jevtic's material.
Moreover, this Queen's move does not provide additional protection for an under-protected piece that was in danger of being attacked by White.
It also blocks an opponent's potential attack and limits the threat from White.
