Munoz Xu, Lain vs. Rullan Bento, Pau - Spanish Chess Championship u12 2024 1/2-1/2

In the game between Munoz Xu and Rullan Bento at the Spanish Chess Championship u12 2024 on July 11, 2024, black played the move Qf5. This move is notable for its attempt to threaten to win material. However, it overlooks a potentially stronger move that could have posed a superior threat. Qf5 also suggests an exchange of equal pieces, a strategic decision that might simplify the position. Nonetheless, by placing the queen on f5, black exposes it to potential harassment from white's pieces. This move misses an opportunity to evade an impending attack and does not seize a chance to develop another piece. On the positive side, Qf5 serves to activate the queen, potentially for more active participation in the ongoing play.
