Wu,Rochelle vs. Nurman,Alua - FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 0-1
In the FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 on December 30, 2024, between Wu Rochelle playing with white pieces versus Nurman Alua playing with black pieces, the move Qb6 by Nurman Alua was made.
This capture move aims to gain a material advantage. However, it chooses to prioritize material over a more significant threat, which is often a strategic mistake in chess.
By playing Qb6, Nurman Alua fails to reveal an attack on a piece that could be easily defended. Instead, she focuses on developing the knight for active play.
She misses the opportunity to capture the outpost (the b5 square) with her knight, potentially gaining a stronger pawn structure.
Furthermore, this move does not lead to a favorable piece exchange and instead allows Wu Rochelle's attack on the black position to continue unabated.
The current situation sees Nurman Alua defending the attacked piece, which is now well supported.
