Joshi,Sindira vs. Kandel,Laxmi - 10th Nepal Women Championship 2025 1-0
In the 10th Nepal Women Championship 2025 on January 27, 2025, between Joshi Sindira (White) and Kandel Laxmi (Black), the White player made a move that would have significant implications in the game. Specifically, at move Re5, the White player's rook is positioned behind their passed pawn, making it vulnerable to counter-attacks from Black.
The move Re5 also allows Kandel Laxmi to kick the opponent's piece, potentially gaining an advantage. Moreover, by playing Re5, Joshi Sindira misses the opportunity to escape a potential attack on her piece, leaving it unprotected.
In contrast, playing Re5 does defend the attacked piece, but this defense is not ideal as it fails to provide better protection for the underdefended piece. Additionally, the move blocks an opponent's attack and forces Black to respond to White's development of their piece.
The overall impact of the Re5 move was that it allowed Black to develop a more active play.
