Westerweele,Henrik vs. Slettum,Karl Anker - 21st Open Gran Hotel Bali-B 2024 1-0
In the game between Henrik Westerweele (white) and Karl Anker Slettum (black), on November 30th, 2024, at the 21st Open Gran Hotel Bali-B event, a move was made that significantly weakened Black's position. By playing Qf5, White sacrificed material, leaving the queen without any defensive pieces to back it up.
This move also ignored an opportunity to threaten, as it didn't put pressure on Black's position or create any real threats. The queen, now isolated and unguarded, was a piece that was no longer well-supported by other pawns or pieces.
Furthermore, this move missed the chance to force Black into making a defensive move, which could have potentially opened up new attacking opportunities for White. Instead, Black seemed to be ignoring the potential danger posed by the queen's advanced position.
By developing the queen for active play, White was able to create some possibilities for further action, but ultimately, the move Qf5 ended up weakening their own pawn structure rather than creating any real threats or weaknesses in Black's position.
