Sultanbek,Zeinep vs. Toncheva,Nadya - FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 0-1
In the FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 event on December 30, 2024, White player Sultanbek made the move Qb6, which follows a capture. This move threatens to win material against Black's piece, but instead of taking advantage of this free capture opportunity, it ignores it. By playing Qb6, the game is forced in a direction where Black must respond with a piece movement, gaining a tempo advantage for White. The move also allows Black's piece to potentially kick White's queen, while failing to better protect its own underdefended piece from attack. Furthermore, the queen on b6 now occupies a relatively safe square, well defended and ready for future active play.
