In the game between Tummasarson,Flovin M. (white) and Hojgaard,Brandur (black) at the Faroese-ch Candidates 2025 event on 2025.04.15, the move Qd1 played by black is a development move that puts the queen on the d-file. This move develops the piece for active play, but unfortunately, it misses several opportunities to take advantage of its position on this square.
On the d-file, Hojgaard,Brandur misses an opportunity to threaten the opponent's position with their queen, instead opting not to take any initiative. Furthermore, by moving their queen to d1, they miss a chance to reveal the attack on their own piece, which would have been a strong move. Additionally, the square is underdefended, and by moving the queen here, Hojgaard,Brandur misses an opportunity to protect this piece.
The move Qd1 also fails to take advantage of any potential weaknesses in the opponent's position. Overall, while developing their piece for active play, Hojgaard,Brandur's choice on d1 seems slightly hesitant and unambitious compared to other possible moves.
