Javakhishvili,Lela vs. Tsolakidou,Stavroula - European Women Blitz-ch 2024 0-1

In the European Women Blitz-ch 2024 event on January 10, 2025, Lela Javakhishvili played the move Kg4 with white pieces against Stavroula Tsolakidou's black pieces. This move can be seen as a deviation from the optimal approach, as it fails to capitalize on a potential capture and instead chooses to develop one of its most powerful pieces. By doing so, Lela misses out on an opportunity to threaten her opponent directly. Furthermore, this move reveals a blocked attack on the kingside, which could have been leveraged for more effective play. Additionally, by playing Kg4, Lela fails to force Stavroula Tsolakidou into making a potentially unfavorable response. This choice also neglects the opportunity to better defend one of her pieces that is under attack, and ultimately defends the piece instead of attacking the attacker.
