Rachit H Gurnani vs. Mohit Kumar Soni - 1st Kingdom Open Udiapur 2024 1-0

In the match between Rachit H Gurnani and Mohit Kumar Soni during the 1st Kingdom Open in Udaipur on October 24, 2024, the move Qh6 played by White is notable for several strategic implications. This move compels Black to respond, effectively gaining a tempo advantage as it forces the opponent to move a piece. However, it also neglects a more significant threat that could have been addressed at that moment. While it does create an immediate threat of checkmate, it simultaneously allows Black the opportunity to counterattack, potentially kicking one of White's pieces. Additionally, this move develops a piece for more active play but misses the chance to escape from an ongoing attack. Overall, Qh6 exemplifies a bold yet risky strategy that could shape the course of the game.
