Mariani,Daniel Brandao vs. Garcia Martin,Marta - BCS-Floripa Super Blitz 2025 0-1

In the BCS-Floripa Super Blitz 2025 event on 2025.01.22, White player Daniel Brandao made a move that involved taking one of Black's pieces with his queen, Qxd5. This move was considered to threaten material gain as it captured an opponent's piece without immediate compensation. However, by playing Qxd5, Brandao also sacrificed material in exchange for the capture, which could have been seen as a less-than-optimal trade. The move did not ignore any superior threat chance but rather chose to pursue this specific line of attack. It proposed a potential equalizing factor through a piece exchange, although it's unclear if this was genuinely assessed at the time. By playing Qxd5, Brandao also created a fork that attacked multiple pieces, potentially exposing Black's position to further pressure. Furthermore, the move did not capitalize on an opportunity to develop another piece actively, instead focusing solely on the queen's role in the attack.
