The mistake itself came so out of nowhere that Sheva didn't realize that it was a mistake. After all, just a moment ago, everything was equal, and honestly, the mistake that Sindarov made was enough to send a shiver down Sheva's spine, because at first glance, it looked like a dangerous move targeting his defense.
'Man, it is like he is breathing under my neck.' He murmured inwardly. 'Should I try to exchange the queen? Still, is it really that dangerous? How about keeping the tension by bringing the knight back?'
The mistake that the Uzbek GM made was so subtle and difficult to detect that Sheva himself, even with the boost of his title, couldn't figure it out. It seemed that Sindarov felt like Sheva's attack was about to overwhelm him, so he slid the queen to the seventh rank, forming a battery with the rook that had already infiltrated beforehand to offer an exchange.
It was a common strategy to deal with an overwhelming attack, offer to exchange everything on the board.
