Markidis, Konstantinos vs. Nalbandyan, Vahan - Kavala Chess Tournament A 2024 1-0

In the game between Markidis, Konstantinos and Nalbandyan, Vahan at the Kavala Chess Tournament A on August 1, 2024, White's move Qe3 is quite multifaceted. It follows a capture move and overlooks a more significant threat opportunity, which might have been more advantageous. This move allows Black to kick the piece and misses a better escape route from the attack. Additionally, it fails to seize the chance to defend an unprotected piece and overlooks superior protection for an underdefended piece. On the positive side, Qe3 defends an attacked piece, ensuring it is now well-guarded, and blocks an opponent's attack. However, it also misses an opportunity for a better defense for another unprotected piece and a chance to develop another piece. Despite these drawbacks, the move develops the queen for active play, contributing to White's overall position.
