Putnam,Liam vs. Gartenlaub,Corin - Marshall CC Premier 03-2025 1-0

In the game between Putnam, Liam (white) and Gartenlaub, Corin (black) at the Marshall CC Premier event on 2025.03.08, Corin's move Qxa5 is a strategic choice that prioritizes capturing material over potential threats. This move allows for a free piece to be taken out of commission, which can be advantageous in certain situations. However, it also means that Black misses an opportunity to develop their piece in a more active way. On the other hand, by moving the queen to xa5, Corin is able to set up the possibility for opponent's pieces to be kicked, potentially creating future attacking opportunities.
