Schulze,Lara vs. Chen,Qingzhi Alexander - Deutsche Unimeisterschaft 2024 1-0
In the Deutsche Unimeisterschaft 2024 on November 30th, Lara Schulze played with white pieces against Qingzhi Alexander Chen playing with black pieces. The move Rxd4 followed a capture, putting pressure on material possession and threatening to gain an advantage.
This move also ignores a potentially stronger threat chance. By retaking the captured piece, Schulze forces her opponent's hand, forcing them to make a piece movement.
The move gains a tempo advantage by taking control of the board before Chen can respond effectively. This allows Chen to prepare for potential counterattacks and also creates an opportunity for Chen to escape from attack if needed.
However, Schulze misses better opportunities to protect Chen's underdefended pieces and could have exchanged material for more equal conditions.
In this game, Schulze develops one of her pieces for active play, potentially setting up future attacks or defending against incoming threats.
