Platsaki,Evgenia Valeria vs. Alexandri,Dimitra - Greek U18-Girls 2025 0-1
In the game between Platsaki, Evgenia Valeria (white) and Alexandri, Dimitra (black), on 2025.01.05 at the Greek U18-Girls 2025 event, White's move Qc5+ was a strategic choice that prioritizes controlling the center of the board over developing other pieces for now.
The move ignores a potentially stronger threat, opting instead to force Black's opponent piece into a specific response rather than pursuing a more powerful attack. By doing so, it gains an advantage in terms of tempo, allowing White to develop its pawn structure and create long-term strategic opportunities.
However, this move also misses the chance to fully develop one of its pieces, particularly the queen, which could have been more effective on the board if utilized earlier. Nevertheless, it does develop a key piece for active play, positioning the queen to potentially launch a strong attack or defend against Black's counterplay in the future.
Overall, White's Qc5+ is a calculated move that sets the stage for further strategic decisions and maneuvering in the game.
