Koutroupas,Emmanouil vs. Kazakis,Mattheos Konstantino - 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 0-1

In the game between Emmanouil Koutroupas playing with white pieces versus Mattheos Kazakis playing with black pieces in the 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 on November 29, 2024, White played the move Qf3. This move puts pressure on Black's position by potentially gaining material, but also leaves their queen undefended and vulnerable to attack. By making this move, White ignores a stronger threat from developing other pieces earlier in the game. The pawn development that follows this move allows White to gain tempo advantage, but may also allow Black to kick the piece back into position. Unfortunately for White, this move does not reveal any immediate threats on the queen and instead forces it to become more active. Overall, the Qf3 move seems like an unnecessary sacrifice of material without creating a clear advantage.
