Jovanovic,Zoran vs. Novkovic,Milan - 2nd Austrian Bundesliga-West 2024-25 1/2-1/2

In the 2nd Austrian Bundesliga-West event on 2025.03.29, Zoran Jovanovic made a move with his queen piece to c6, playing as black against Milan Novkovic. This move missed an opportunity to launch a direct threat and instead opted for defensive play, shielding the attacked piece from potential attack. By moving the queen to c6, Jovanovic effectively blocked Novkovic's attacking attempt on that piece, but at the cost of not creating a stronger presence in the center of the board. The queen is now well defended against immediate threats, yet this move may have come at the expense of better protection for the underdefended pieces on the board.
