Maisuradze,Nino vs. Maltsevskaya,Aleksandra - European Women Blitz-ch 2024 0-1
In the European Women Blitz-ch 2024 on January 10, 2025, Nino Maisuradze played a move that could have been more effective, choosing to play Kg3 as White. This move allowed her to develop one of her pieces for active play, but it also revealed a blocked attack, potentially weakening her position.
The move Kg3 created a fork, attacking multiple pieces on the board, which could have put pressure on Black's position and led to further complications. However, it ultimately failed to escape from an attack and instead allowed Aleksandra Maltsevskaya to launch a successful counterattack.
Unfortunately for Maisuradze, this move also missed an opportunity to threaten Black's king directly and capitalize on any potential weaknesses in her opponent's position. By choosing Kg3, she continued to checkmate, but the move ultimately did not yield the desired outcome of gaining a significant advantage over Maltsevskaya.
It's worth noting that playing Kg3 might have been a better choice if it had been part of a larger plan to attack Black's pieces or king more directly.
