Suzuki,Edgard Nascimento So vs. Monteiro,Samuel Ramazzotte - ISF U15 Gymnasiade Open-B 2025 0-1
In the game between Suzuki (white) and Monteiro (black) from the ISF U15 Gymnasiade Open-B 2025 on April 10, 2025, Monteiro played a decisive move with his queen moving to d4. This strategic choice put pressure on Suzuki's position, as it threatened to capture one of his most valuable assets.
However, by playing Qd4, Monteiro sacrificed material, which seemed counterintuitive given the potential value of the material he was giving up. Nevertheless, this sacrifice allowed him to gain a significant advantage and create long-term threats against Suzuki's position.
Despite having an opportunity to reveal an attack on one of Suzuki's pieces, Monteiro chose not to do so, potentially missing out on a chance to gain more ground in the opening. Moreover, he failed to utilize his piece development effectively, as Qd4 didn't bring about any significant improvements in protection for an underdefended piece.
On the other hand, this move did successfully defend Suzuki's attacked piece, which was now better protected and secured. Nevertheless, Monteiro missed out on a chance to develop his queen more actively and take advantage of its mobility.
