Blunder Awareness Example #3

Academy | Calculation | Blunder Awareness | Example #3

White intends to play 1. Qh4. Why would this be a blunder?

Solution: 1. Qh4? Qxh4 2. Nxh4 Bxd2

Observation

This blunder likely stems from a tactical oversight: White didn’t realize that the knight on f3 would be overloaded, unable to defend both the queen on h4 and the other knight on d2 at the same time.
