Kesavan G vs. Mayank Chakraborty - 1st Kingdom Open Udiapur 2024 0-1
In the game between Kesavan G and Mayank Chakraborty at the 1st Kingdom Open Udaipur 2024 on October 24, 2024, the move Qb3+ played by White has several notable characteristics. This move effectively protects an attacked piece, ensuring it remains safe from threats. However, it overlooks a significant opportunity to apply pressure on Black by threatening other pieces. Additionally, while it does force a response from the opposing piece, it fails to capitalize on a more advantageous tempo that could have been gained. The move also misses a chance to exchange pieces favorably, which could have shifted the material balance in White's favor. Although it develops the queen for more active play, it neglects better defensive options for an underprotected piece. Furthermore, while this move blocks an opponent's attack, it does not take full advantage of potential threats that could have been revealed by a different choice. Overall, while Qb3+ maintains some strategic advantages, it ultimately misses several critical opportunities to enhance White's position in the game.
