Roeder,Phillip vs. Kotov,Ivan F. - Deutsche Unimeisterschaft 2024 1-0
In the Deutsche Unimeisterschaft 2024 on November 30, 2024, White player Phillip made the move Qh6 against Black player Ivan Kotov. This move is a queen's h-file exchange, effectively equalizing the material between the two players.
Phillip missed an opportunity to launch a strong attack by overlooking a potential threat chance that could have put pressure on Kotov's position. Instead, he chose to ignore the superior threat and propose an equal trade of pieces, which ultimately proved to be a misstep.
By choosing Qh6, Phillip was able to develop his queen piece for active play, bringing it into the game more effectively than if he had developed another piece.
