Maghsoodloo,Parham vs. Ivanchuk,Vasyl - Djerba Festival Masters 2025 1-0
In the Djerba Festival Masters 2025 on February 18, 2025, Parham Maghsoodloo played the move Qf4 with white against Vasyl Ivanchuk with black. This move can be characterized as ignoring a significant threat by not attacking the opponent's piece that could have led to a strong advantage. However, it is worth noting that this move instead utilizes the queen to pin an opponent's piece to their king, putting pressure on their monarch. Unfortunately, it also misses an opportunity to develop one of the other pieces, specifically the bishop, which would have provided additional support for the central pawns. Nevertheless, Qf4 does develop the queen, setting it up for active play and potentially creating long-term threats against Ivanchuk's position.
