Nakamura, Hikaru vs. Martinez Alcantara, Jose Eduardo - Main Event 1-0

In the game between Hikaru Nakamura and Jose Eduardo Martinez Alcantara during the Main Event on July 25, 2024, Black’s move Qf1 had several significant drawbacks. The move failed to seize an opportunity to initiate a threat, missing a chance to reveal an attack on White’s piece. It also allowed White’s piece to advance without obstruction and did not address an immediate threat, missing an opportunity for Black to escape an attack. Additionally, the move missed a chance to force a reaction from White and did not take advantage of the opportunity to develop the piece more actively. Despite this, Qf1 did bring Black's queen into play, but ultimately, it did not address the imminent threat of checkmate.
