Andersen,Mads vs. Nepomniachtchi,Ian - FIDE Open World Blitz 2024 0-1
In the FIDE Open World Blitz 2024 tournament on 2024.12.30 between Mads Andersen playing with white pieces against Ian Nepomniachtchi playing with black pieces, the move Rc7 was made by White.
This move is notable for forcing Black to move a piece (Nepomniachtchi responds), which limits his mobility and creates an opportunity for attack. However, it fails to better protect a piece that remains underdefended by White.
The move also misses the chance to develop another piece more effectively. Instead, it develops the rook, which could be used for active play.
