Smietanska, Wiktoria vs. Matskevich, Varvara - G20 0-1

In the G20 chess event on October 24, 2023, Varvara Matskevich, playing as black, made the move Qc6, strategically posing a threat to potentially capture an opponent's piece. However, this move failed to exploit an opportunity to unveil an attack on an opposing piece and didn't grasp the chance to establish a winning tempo. Furthermore, it inadvertently permitted the opponent's piece to counterattack, missing the opportunity to escape an impending assault. Despite the potential for a favorable material exchange, this move also overlooked an advantageous chance to compel the opponent's move, thus leaving the game delicately poised with opportunities still available for both players to leverage.
