In the CCT Chessable Masters Playoffs 2025 on 2025.02.18 between Artemiev Vladislav (white) and Erigaisi Arjun (black), Erigaisi played a move that follows a capture move. This move threatens to gain material, but in doing so, Erigaisi sacrifices one of their pieces for it.
The move ignores the opportunity to take advantage of a stronger threat, forcing Artemiev to respond with his piece on Ra4. However, this response also allows Artemiev's opponent to kick Erigaisi's piece, putting it under attack.
Erigaisi fails to better protect the captured piece and instead misses the chance to develop one of their own pieces more effectively. Instead, they choose to develop the piece on Ra4, setting it up for active play.
