Jain Kashish Manoj vs. Chan,Kim Yew - Prague Open 2025 1-0
In the game between Jain Kashish Manoj and Chan Kim Yew at Prague Open 2025 on January 13, 2025, the move Qh5 played by Black is notable for several critical errors. Specifically, this move misses an opportunity to create a stronger attacking position. By playing Qh5, Black ignores a significant threat that White could have exploited. Furthermore, this move fails to reveal the attack on an opponent's piece, which would have provided more insight into the game's dynamics.
Additionally, Black misses the chance to seize the winning tempo and escape from the potential attack that White had set up. This oversight also means missing the opportunity to defend an unprotected piece effectively, as the piece is now well defended against further attacks. Moreover, Black fails to provide better protection for the underdefended piece by not making a more advantageous material exchange. The move does pin the opponent's piece, but ultimately allows White to checkmate.
It is also worth noting that Black misses several chances to develop their pieces and create active play with the queen on h5. Despite this, the game continued with Black continuing to face checkmate, which was facilitated by the initial suboptimal choice of Qh5.
