In the game between Anurag Mhamal and Mrudul Dehankar of the Goa GM Open 2025 on January 13, 2025, the move Rg8 was played by Black. This move can be seen as a missed opportunity to escape an attack, as it fails to address the superior threat chance presented by White's pieces.
On this particular move, there is a trade of pieces proposed, where instead of committing to a specific square, the rook could have been used to create space for other pieces.
However, with this move, the rook captures an open file, which might be seen as a tactical gain in some situations, but in this case, it seems that a better outcome could have been achieved.
Additionally, by playing Rg8, Black misses the chance to advance one of their pieces and gain more mobility on the board.
Furthermore, the move pins opponent's piece against their king, which is an effective way to neutralize an attack, but in this instance, it seems that a different approach could have been taken.
Lastly, by playing Rg8, Black fails to develop the rook properly for active play, leaving it somewhat stagnant on the board.
