Lohia,Sohum vs. Cramling Bellon,Anna - Reykjavik Open 2025 1-0
In the Reykjavik Open 2025 on 2025.04.09, the game between Lohia, Sohum (white) and Cramling Bellon, Anna (black) saw an interesting move made by Black, Qe7. This move involves moving the Queen from its starting position to e7, which can be characterized as ignoring a superior threat chance. The Queen's move is also seen as defending against an attacked piece, making it relatively well-defended. However, this defense comes at the cost of missing better protection for the underdefended piece on f6.
Furthermore, moving the Queen to e7 blocks the opponent's attack and pins down Anna Cramling Bellon's Queen, exerting pressure on her position. Nevertheless, the move also misses the opportunity to develop another piece for active play, a crucial aspect of chess strategy. By developing the Queen for active play, Sohum could have potentially gained more advantage in the game.
