This move, g3, involves capturing material and gaining an immediate advantage over her opponent.
This move follows the capture principle, as it completes the process initiated earlier in the game.
By playing g3, Stella threatens to win material, putting pressure on Iglesias Ferreira's position.
The pawn move also offers a potential equal trade of pieces between players.
However, this particular move fails to offer a better escape from any potential attacks that might be forthcoming.
Moreover, it misses the opportunity to develop another piece for active play, potentially weakening its overall presence in the game.
In contrast, the pawn on g3 develops a piece that can actively participate in further strategic maneuvering.
Overall, Stella's decision to play g3 demonstrates her attempt to gain tempo advantage and shift the focus away from her own vulnerabilities.
