Pogosyan,Stefan vs. Gharibyan,Mamikon - 85th Armenian Mens-ch 2024 1/2-1/2
In the 85th Armenian Mens' Chess Championship 2024 on November 24, 2024, Stefan played the move Qh2 with black pieces against Pogosyan. This move appears to be a miscalculation, as it fails to seize an opportunity for open file capture.
It also creates a fork by attacking multiple pieces, which suggests that Stefan might have been trying to develop his queenside pieces but ultimately misses the chance to do so effectively.
Additionally, Stefan's choice of Qh2 seems to ignore a superior threat chance from Pogosyan, and he misses the opportunity to force an enemy move.
Furthermore, this move also fails to reveal an attack on piece, which is a critical aspect of black's strategy in this position.
It's worth noting that by playing Qh2, Stefan deviates from the main line of play, potentially weakening his attacking chances.
Lastly, this move seems to be an example of neglecting material gain over other strategic considerations, as it doesn't address any threats posed by Pogosyan.
