Starley,Robert vs. Dunn,Andrew M - 4NCL Div 2 2024-25 1/2-1/2

In the 4NCL Div 2 event between Robert Starley and Andrew M Dunn on November 23, 2024, White's move Qf1 stands out as a notable decision. The queen is developed for active play, but unfortunately, it comes at a cost - White loses material in exchange, indicating that this move might not be the strongest choice. The move also suggests that Robert Starley overlooked an opportunity to develop another piece, potentially leading to further weaknesses down the line. On the other hand, by moving the queen to f1, Robert Starley does sacrifice one of his pieces unnecessarily, which could have been avoided if he had chosen a different move.
