Jing,Andrew vs. Canty,James - Charlotte CC Fall IM-B 2024 0-1

In the game between Andrew (White) and James (Black) at the Charlotte CC Fall IM-B 2024 on November 24, 2024, White's move Qe3 is notable for allowing Black to kick an opponent's piece, thus giving them a strategic advantage in defending against attacks. By playing Qe3, White misses the opportunity to create space and escape potential counter-attacks by their own pieces. This move also deprives White of a chance to develop another piece from the e-file, potentially weakening their overall pawn structure. However, Qe3 does develop the Queen's pawn, which can lead to active play in the center of the board, albeit with some limitations.
