Skotheim,Havard vs. Rynning,Rune Kleiven - Fagernes Chess Open 2025 0-1
In the Fagernes Chess Open 2025 on April 13, 2025, between Skotheim Havard playing with white pieces against Rynning Rune Kleiven playing with black pieces, the move Qa4 was made by White. This unusual choice ignores a strong threat from Black's position, allowing them to develop a powerful attacking piece that pins one of Black's pieces to their king, putting pressure on the entire backline. By playing this move, White creates a fork, as the queen attacks not only Black's piece but also the king itself, posing a direct threat to checkmate. However, it seems that White missed an opportunity to develop another piece, potentially gaining more control over the center of the board. Nonetheless, Qa4 develops the queen for active play, setting up a complex and dynamic position in the game ahead.
