Solbu,August vs. Smedsrud,Morten S - Fagernes Chess Open 2025 1-0
In the Fagernes Chess Open 2025 on 2025.04.13, Black player Smedsrud,Morten S made a notable move with his queen to c3 against White player Solbu,August's pieces. This move is considered threatening material gain as it puts pressure on White's position.
It also forces White to make a response, potentially weakening their pawn structure. By playing Qc3, Black gains a tempo advantage over White's development.
However, this move misses an opportunity to better defend the underdefended knight on b8. Nevertheless, the queen is now well defended against potential attacks.
Furthermore, it blocks White's attack on Black's piece by intervening with her own queen, temporarily staving off the threat.
