Prraneeth Vuppala vs. Sodbilegt,Naranbold - Asian Individual Mens-ch 2025 1-0
In the game between Prraneeth Vuppala playing with white pieces versus Sodbilegt,Naranbold playing with black pieces at the Asian Individual Mens-ch 2025 on 2025.05.07, the move Qg1+ was played by Black. This move allowed opponent's piece to be kicked, while defending the attacked piece and blocking potential attacks from White.
The choice to make this move instead of leveraging the superior threat chance available seems counterintuitive, as it misses a significant opportunity for attack.
By doing so, the attacked piece is now well-protected, which could have been an ideal scenario if not for the missed chance for better protection. The move also pins opponent's piece, creating a fork that attacks multiple pieces.
In this context, it appears that Black was focusing on active play rather than developing the piece further to achieve greater efficiency and strategic gain in the game.
