Rotermund,Verena vs. Marx,Christina - RLP-ch Rapid 2025 1-0

In the RLP-ch Rapid 2025 event on May 18, 2025, between Verena Rotermund playing with white pieces and Christina Marx playing with black pieces, a specific move stood out: Qe8+. This move followed a capture, which was an opportunity to push a pawn forward but was instead passed up. By doing so, it allowed the opponent's piece to kick, putting pressure on White's position. The move also created a fork, attacking multiple of Black's pieces simultaneously. However, by not developing another piece at this time, it missed the chance for more active play. On the other hand, the Queen move did develop one piece, setting it up for future activity.
