Vaishali,Rameshbabu vs. Koneru,Humpy - FIDE Women GP Pune 2025 1/2-1/2
In the FIDE Women's GP Pune 2025 event on April 14, 2025, between Vaishali and Rameshbabu playing White, and Koneru Humpy playing Black, a notable move was made by Black at e4+. This move results in immediate material loss. The piece is left without defenders, which puts it in a vulnerable position. By sacrificing the piece unnecessarily, Black risks weakening their pawn structure. However, this sacrifice also forces White to make a piece move, gaining a tempo advantage. Unfortunately for Black, they miss the opportunity to escape the attack and instead create a fork that attacks multiple pieces. Furthermore, by developing the e-pawn, Black misses the chance to develop another piece. Nonetheless, the e4+ move does give Black the initiative in active play.
