Sevcikova,Lucia vs. Bulmaga,Irina - FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 0-1
In the FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 event on December 30, 2024, Lucia Sevcikova played a move that ultimately backfired against her: Qb1. This move is considered a blunder as it ignores the stronger attacking possibility and instead allows Irina Bulmaga to potentially gain an advantage.
It loses material in exchange for the queen's movement, which could have been a better use of the piece. By playing this move, Sevcikova misses the chance to reveal her attack on the opponent's piece more effectively.
The queen's position is now somewhat exposed and vulnerable to potential counterattacks from Bulmaga. This move allows its opponent to potentially kick the queen out of the way or neutralize it more easily.
Developing this particular piece does indeed allow for active play in the future. However, Sevcikova misses the opportunity to protect an underdefended piece and better shield it from potential attacks.
