Zerarga,Imene vs. Nahom,Perez - Djerba Festival Open-B 2025 1-0
In the Djerba Festival Open-B 2025 game on 2025.02.18 between player Zerarga,Imene playing with white pieces versus player Nahom,Perez playing with black pieces, the move Qc4+ was made by White. This move misses an opportunity to threaten directly against Black's position, instead choosing not to pursue a potentially decisive attack. By doing so, it ignores a chance for greater impact and instead of utilizing its bishop more effectively, it limits mobility. Furthermore, this choice disregards the potential for capturing a key outpost that could have given White a strategic advantage. However, by playing Qc4+, White inadvertently opens up the opportunity for Black to counter-attack, which now puts White's queen in a well-defended position, reducing its vulnerability. Additionally, this move fails to provide adequate protection for an underdefended piece, leaving it exposed to potential attacks from Black's forces. The choice also blocks a potential attack that could have been launched by Black against White's position. Unfortunately, the move does create a fork, putting multiple of Black's pieces at risk, but it does so in a way that misses the opportunity for more decisive action. Ultimately, this move fails to develop any other piece effectively and instead devotes itself solely to developing the queen for active play.
