Lyutsinger,Iren vs. Kaldarova,Ayaulym - FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 1-0
In the FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 event on December 30, 2024, between players Lyutsinger (white) and Kaldarova (black), Iren made a move that deviated from optimal play - playing Kh2 with black. This pawn move sacrifices material, leaving behind an undefended piece without any defensive support.
It appears Iren missed the chance to threaten the opponent's position by not developing other pieces simultaneously. Furthermore, by playing Kh2, Iren revealed a potentially blocked attack, as this move does not contribute to an active play.
On the other hand, Iren did develop the knight piece for active play, but ultimately, it seems this move was unnecessary and did not lead to a better escape from any potential attacks on black's position. The pawn now becomes well-defended, which might limit future attacking opportunities.
