Poeta,Caio Medeiros vs. Lavigne Lopez,Raul Leonardo - 2nd Sampa STD Open 2025 1-0
In the 2nd Sampa STD Open 2025 on 2025.02.01, Caio Medeiros played a move that involved the queen of white pieces capturing the king's rook with her queen, resulting in an elimination of the attacking piece. This led to an equal trade between the two players, as Raul Leonardo responded by capturing one of his opponent's pieces with his own queen, leaving the captured piece without any defenders.
The move was made by Black, Lavigne Lopez, and it forced White's rook to make a subsequent move. However, it appears that this move may have been overlooked in favor of a potentially better option involving the knight on c6. The game also shows that playing with the queen can lead to more active play for the piece.
Overall, the move Qxa3 demonstrated Caio Medeiros' ability to eliminate an attacking piece and gain material, while Lavigne Lopez responded effectively to maintain the balance of the game.
