Zhou,Yang-Fan vs. Derakhshani,Borna - 4NCL Div 1 2024-25 1/2-1/2
In the game between Zhou Yang-Fan (White) and Derakhshani Borna (Black), on November 23, 2024, at the 4NCL Div 1 event, White's move Qh4 followed a capture, but instead of pursuing its potential threats, it opted to focus on developing its queen. This choice led to a missed opportunity to launch an immediate attack and instead forced Black to respond with a piece movement, gaining Zhou Yang-Fan some tempo advantage in the process.
The queen's move also revealed a potential pin on one of Black's pieces, which could have been leveraged for further pressure. However, White chose not to pursue this line, potentially missing out on a chance to disrupt Black's position and gain a strategic advantage. Overall, while Qh4 did provide some benefits in terms of development and tempo, it ultimately fell short of realizing its full potential due to Zhou Yang-Fan's cautious approach.
