Kvaloy,Aksel Bu vs. Meysman,Kaito - FIDE WYCC O16 2024 1-0

In the match between Aksel Kvaloy and Kaito Meysman at the FIDE World Youth Chess Championship U16 on October 30, 2024, the move Qd4+ played by Black was notable but not without its shortcomings. This move failed to capitalize on an opportunity to pose a more significant threat to White's position. Additionally, it overlooked a chance to expose an attack on one of White's pieces, which could have shifted the momentum in Black's favor. While this move did provide some defense for an attacked piece, it did not offer the best escape from an impending threat. Moreover, it missed the opportunity to better protect an underdefended piece, leaving it vulnerable. On a positive note, the move successfully developed Black's piece, contributing to more active play. However, overall, Qd4+ did not maximize Black's potential in this critical position.
