Gomez Falagan,Daniel vs. Alvarez Sanchez,Mauro - 51st La Roda Open 2025 1-0
In the 51st La Roda Open 2025 on April 15, 2025, between Daniel Gomez Falagan playing with white pieces against Mauro Alvarez Sanchez playing with black pieces, the move Qxd5 was made. This move allows Black to gain a material advantage by capturing White's queen and x-d5 square is occupied by this captured piece. It threatens to win material, as it aims to take control of the center and create attacking chances.
The move also gives Black a free piece to develop further, as the exchange removes one of White's pieces from play. Additionally, Qxd5 forces White's opponent to respond with a piece movement, which can be used to their advantage. Furthermore, this move gains tempo by opening up the center of the board for Black's future development.
However, it is also noted that Black misses an opportunity to develop one of their own pieces more quickly, as they could have played d5 instead of just moving into position. On the other hand, Qxd5 does allow Black to develop a piece for active play and creates space for potential future maneuvers.
