Kapali,Binita vs. Gurung,Sushila - 10th Nepal Women Championship 2025 1-0
In the 10th Nepal Women Championship 2025 on January 29, 2025, Binita Kapali played a risky move by moving her rook to d2, which led to the loss of material in exchange.
This pawn sacrifice unnecessarily put pressure on Gurung's position. By developing this piece behind her passed pawn, Kapali gained a temporary advantage in tempo. However, she failed to capitalize on this opportunity to escape an impending attack.
The rook on d2 then proceeded to pin Gurung's knight against her king, severely limiting her mobility and creating a forced checkmate. Unfortunately for Kapali, her piece development was limited by the move, which hindered her active play.
Overall, the move was a crucial moment in the game, showcasing the complexities of chess strategy.
