Ilic,Zvezdana vs. Dakic,Marta - Serbian-ch Women Semi 2025 1/2-1/2
In the game between Zvezdana Ilic and Marta Dakic at the Serbian-ch Women Semi 2025 on 2025.05.06, the move Qxd4 played by Black is a notable choice. This capture eliminates an attacking piece from play, freeing up the board for further development.
However, instead of pursuing a better material exchange, Black chooses to ignore this opportunity. As a result, the position misses out on a potentially more advantageous trade-off.
Furthermore, the move creates a pin on opponent's king, forcing White to be cautious when moving their pieces. This pin also sets up a fork, attacking multiple pieces and creating potential complications for White.
On the other hand, the choice not to develop one of their pieces earlier is evident in this move, as it delays active play. Despite developing one piece, Black may have missed out on further opportunities to improve their position through more thorough development.
