Hillarp Persson,Tiger vs. Khoo-Thwe,Louis - Fagernes Chess GM-Swiss 2025 1-0
In the Fagernes Chess GM-Swiss 2025 event on 2025.04.13, Hillarp Persson (Tiger) made a strategic move by playing Qf3 with white pieces against Khoo-Thwe (Louis) with black pieces. This move threatens material gain by putting pressure on Louis's position, creating a threat that could lead to the loss of one of his pieces. By placing the queen on f3, Persson also pins Louis's knight on c6, which could limit its mobility and create weaknesses in the opponent's pawn structure.
Furthermore, Qf3 creates a fork, attacking both Louis's bishop on c8 and his pawn on d5 simultaneously, forcing him to choose between losing one of these pieces or making concessions on the queenside. The queen's development also prepares for active play, setting the stage for further attacks and maneuvers.
