Sliwicka,Alicja vs. Khademalsharieh,Sarasadat - European Women Blitz-ch 2024 1-0
In the European Women Blitz-ch 2024 on January 10, 2025, Alicja Sliwicka played the white pieces against Sarasadat Khademalsharieh with black pieces. The move Qxa4, which involves capturing the opponent's queen and simultaneously gaining material, can be described as a strategic choice to acquire a free piece.
This move might have missed an opportunity to threaten the opponent's position more directly by focusing on attacking the queen instead of gaining material. However, it does connect the rooks for potential synergy in future moves. Additionally, it may have forced Sarasadat to make a response with her opponent's king, which could have given Alicja a temporary advantage.
On the other hand, Qxa4 might not be the most effective way to seize winning tempo or create opportunities for further attack. The move also failed to capture an open file, which could have provided a more significant material advantage. Furthermore, it does not appear to pin Sarasadat's queen or create a fork that attacks multiple pieces.
Ultimately, Qxa4 seems to be a tactical choice rather than a long-term strategic plan, and its impact on the game will depend on how well Alicja develops her remaining pieces and utilizes her advantages in tempo.
