Prabhu, Naveen vs. Rajagopal, Adharsh - 8th Annual Carolinas Classic 2024 1/2-1/2

In the game between Prabhu, Naveen playing with white pieces and Rajagopal, Adharsh with black pieces at the 8th Annual Carolinas Classic 2024 on June 9, 2024, the move Qc7 by Black was multifaceted. It developed the queen for active play, but it also missed several strategic opportunities. The move overlooked a chance to threaten the opponent and ignored a superior threat possibility. Additionally, it failed to reveal an attack on a piece and missed a favorable piece exchange. Black also missed the chance to escape an attack more effectively and failed to take advantage of a favorable material exchange. Furthermore, the move did not force an enemy move or help develop other pieces as effectively as possible. While the move Qc7 did contribute to the queen's active play, it neglected several critical tactical opportunities that could have significantly altered the game's dynamics.
