Bettalli, Francesco vs. Davide Fezza - 25+10 1-0

In the 25+10 event on May 25, 2024, during a game between Francesco Bettalli and Davide Fezza, Fezza played the move Rxc2 as black. This move strategically threatens a material win by capturing Bettalli's pawn on c2. However, it results in a material loss for black, as Fezza's rook becomes vulnerable without defenders. Despite this, Rxc2 contributes to black's active play by occupying the 7th rank and creating a fork, attacking multiple pieces simultaneously. However, it overlooks opportunities for a superior threat chance and better mobility for the bishop. Additionally, Rxc2 misses chances to escape an impending attack and develop other pieces more effectively. Nonetheless, by capturing the pawn on c2, Fezza's move shapes the dynamics of the game and positions the rook for more active involvement.
