Khademalsharieh,Sarasadat vs. Rakhmangulova,Anastasiya - European Women Rapid-ch 2024 1-0
In the European Women Rapid-ch 2024 on 2025.01.11, White player Khademalsharieh made the move Qc7+, a strategic choice that aims to gain an advantage over Black's position. This move misses the opportunity to launch a direct attack, instead opting for a more subtle approach. By playing Qc7+, White forces Black's Rakhmangulova to respond to the knight's threat, which can help to equalize the game in the long run. The move also gains tempo advantage by using the queen to cover the c-file, which is now under attack. Furthermore, the queen's movement helps to defend the attacked pawn on e7, making it better protected against potential attacks from Black's pieces. This defensive measure blocks any potential counter-attack by Black and develops the queen for active play in the upcoming moves.
