Mkrtchyan,Mariam vs. Bulmaga,Irina - FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 0-1
In the FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 event on December 30, 2024, player Mkrtchyan played with white pieces against Bulmaga, playing with black pieces. The move Qxe4 was made by White, which led to a capture of the Black piece. This resulted in an equal material exchange and both sides lost a piece. The game also featured a situation where one side left its piece without sufficient protection, while ignoring a stronger threat on the board. As a result, the captured piece became free for potential future use. Additionally, this move allowed Black to potentially kick the White piece with its next move. However, by playing Qxe4, White missed an opportunity to safeguard the unprotected piece that was put into danger. Furthermore, White's piece was now fully exposed and vulnerable to further attack without any supporting pieces. Overall, the move Qxe4 showed a lack of foresight in developing one's pieces for active play and failed to adequately protect its own position.
