Wielosz,Jaroslaw vs. Polster,Wolfgang - FIDE WSTC Open 50 2025 1/2-1/2

In the FIDE WSTC Open 50 2025 event on February 17, 2025, White player Jaroslaw made the move Qe4, a bold choice that immediately put pressure on Black's position. The king, now well defended, is protected from potential capture by this pawn. Unfortunately for Black, this move ignores a possible free capture opportunity, passing up a chance to counterattack earlier in the game. Additionally, White fails to defend an unprotected piece and instead focuses on developing their own piece. The queen now develops towards active play, preparing for potential attacks against Black's position.
