Khakhinov, Ilya vs. Zepeda Berlanga, Jan Enrique - July 30 Late 2024 1-0

In the game between Ilya Khakhinov and Jan Enrique Zepeda Berlanga on July 30, 2024, Black's move Qf5 is notable for several reasons. The move threatens a material gain, but this comes at the cost of losing material in exchange. The queen moves to a square where it lacks defenders, exposing it to potential attacks. Additionally, this move overlooks a superior threat, leading to an unnecessary piece sacrifice. While it forces White to move a piece, it also gives White the opportunity to kick the black queen from its position. The move creates a situation where White’s pieces might be pinned or attacked, but it misses the chance to develop other pieces for more active play.
