Sereti,Eleni vs. Antonaki,Athina - 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 0-1
In the 16th Greek Youth Team-ch 2024 event on November 29, 2024, Eleni Sereti played the move Qe6 with black pieces against Athina Antonaki with white pieces. This move is notable for putting pressure on her opponent's material by threatening a potential win, yet it ignores a more substantial threat chance that could have been seized earlier.
The move also fails to reveal an attack on a piece, which would have allowed Sereti to gain an advantage by forcing Antonaki to respond and potentially creating weaknesses in their position. Furthermore, Qe6 gains tempo by developing her queen prematurely, but she misses the opportunity to capitalize on this advantage to force a more significant enemy move.
Moreover, the move does not secure material exchange that could have been beneficial for Sereti, nor does it create a fork that would attack multiple pieces simultaneously. Although Qe6 develops a piece for active play, it ultimately fails to seize the tempo and creates an opening for Antonaki's counterattack, as her opponent can now kick the piece back at her.
In summary, Sereti's move Qe6 is a characteristic example of a strategic misstep that could have potentially altered the course of the game in favor of white.
