Khademalsharieh,Sarasadat vs. Prochaieva,Alina - European Women Blitz-ch 2024 1-0
In the European Women Blitz-ch 2024 event on January 10, 2025, player Prochaieva made the move Qe6 with black pieces against Khademalsharieh's white pieces. This bold move can be characterized as losing material in exchange for a strategic advantage. The piece is left without defenders, allowing it to potentially roam freely and exert pressure on the opponent's position. However, this move also misses an opportunity to threaten, instead opting for a more passive approach that doesn't directly challenge White's central control.
Furthermore, Prochaieva ignores a superior threat chance, which suggests that there might be alternative moves available that would have put more pressure on Khademalsharieh's position. The sacrifice of the queen appears unnecessary and does not contribute to revealing an attack on any specific piece. Instead, it forces White to make a move, gaining a temporary tempo advantage in the process.
In this context, the move Qe6 seems to miss opportunities to escape an attack or force a more favorable enemy move, allowing Khademalsharieh to potentially launch a successful counterattack. Ultimately, the decision to play Qe6 appears to allow forced checkmate, as Prochaieva's choice does not facilitate a defensive strategy or create sufficient counterplay to challenge White's advantage.
