Sahithi Varshini M vs. Zhao,Xue - FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 0-1
In the FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 event on December 30, 2024, Sahithi Varshini M played a move that aimed to accelerate development with c4. This aggressive choice allowed for quicker piece development in the center and prepared to potentially open lines for her pieces.
However, this move also left her queen pawn somewhat exposed without immediate support or defender.
This pawn play seemed to be based on the idea of controlling the c-file but might have been overly optimistic considering Zhao,Xue's potential response.
The pawn sacrifice could make it difficult to maintain its value and provide long-term benefits in exchange for short-term gains.
Moreover, it may leave Sahithi Varshini M vulnerable to counterplay from her opponent.
