In the U.S. Open Championship and State Tournaments of Champions 2024 held on August 1st, during the game between Logan C. Shafer playing with the white pieces and Daniel Girsh playing with the black pieces, Girsh made the move Qf8. This move develops the queen for active play and gains a tempo advantage by forcing an opponent's piece to move. However, it misses the opportunity to threaten the opponent more directly and to reveal an attack on an existing piece. Additionally, this move overlooks a chance to force a specific enemy move and to develop another piece that could be beneficial in the current position.
