In the Indian School Chess Championship on February 7, 2024, white player Sidhant Rana made a critical move with Qf1. This move, while threatening a potential material win, unfortunately missed the chance to unveil an attack on an opponent's piece. Additionally, it failed to provide better protection for an underdefended piece on the board. Rather than seizing the opportunity to safeguard the vulnerable piece, the move inadvertently blocked a potential counterattack from the opponent. In this position, there was also a missed opportunity to strengthen the defense of the underdefended piece, highlighting a strategic lapse in Sidhant Rana's play during this particular move.
