Milliet,Sophie vs. Yildiz,Elif Zeren - European Womens-ch 2025 1-0
In the European Womens-ch 2025 chess match on 2025.04.01 between Sophie Milliet playing with white pieces versus Elif Yildiz, at move Qxf4, White sacrifices a queen in exchange for material gain. This aggressive play puts pressure on Black's position and forces her to respond immediately.
By capturing the queen, White eliminates the threat of a potential attacking piece and gains a free piece. However, this decision ignores the stronger threat that could have been avoided by not making this move.
The capture also eliminates the possibility of Black using the king as a pawn to block an attack. Instead, it puts more emphasis on defending against an incoming attack, potentially placing more strain on the remaining pieces.
As a result of this move, White's position is now under greater scrutiny, and her next move will be crucial in determining the course of the game.
