Kaustuv,Kundu vs. Roy Chowdhury,Saptarshi - Rotary Club Kalyan Rapid 2025 0-1
In the Rotary Club Kalyan Rapid 2025 event on February 23, 2025, player Kaustuv Kundu played a bold move with his white pieces against Roy Chowdhury's black pieces. The move Qc4 is characterized by posing a material threat to Black's position and opening up possibilities for an exchange of pieces that could lead to equal footing between the two players. This pawn move also gains Kaustuv a tempo advantage, allowing him to potentially push his pawn further down the board and gain more control over the center.
Moreover, the Qc4 move forces Roy Chowdhury to respond, which in turn can lead to an interesting piece exchange that could benefit either player. However, it's worth noting that Kaustuv also misses the opportunity to advance his pawn on c4, potentially creating a passed pawn that could have provided more stability and control.
On the other hand, Kaustuv Kundu does develop his queen piece for active play, which is an important aspect of chess strategy. Unfortunately, he also fails to utilize this development to attack Black's position directly or create a strong attacking fork with his pieces, leaving some opportunities on the table.
