Roberson,Peter T vs. Fernandez,Michael - XTX Markets London Masters 2024 1-0

In the game between Peter T (white) and Michael Fernandez (black) at the XTX Markets London Masters 2024 on November 29, 2024, Black's move Qg4 is characterized by developing a piece for active play. The move ignores the better opportunity to escape from the potential attack that White might have launched with their queen. By playing Qg4, Black misses the chance to defend an unprotected piece and instead puts it in a position where it would be well defended. This development of the queen also comes at the cost of missing favorable material exchanges and better protection for underdefended pieces on the board.
