Moreover, Geworgyan Derenick misses the opportunity to reveal the true nature of his attack on Wu's position, forcing her to make a premature response that could have been avoided. This move also compels her piece to move, which could have been unnecessary and weakened her overall pawn structure.

Lastly, the move blocks Wu Chenshan's attacking attempt and prevents her from developing a piece that could have been used for active play.
