Charkhalashvili,Inga vs. Doluhanova,Evgeniya - European Women Blitz-ch 2024 1-0
In the European Women Blitz-ch 2024 event held on January 10, 2025, Black player Charkhalashvili played Re7 against White player Doluhanova. This move allowed her to defend an attacked piece by placing her rook in front of it, protecting it from potential capture. By doing so, she ensured the piece's safety and took away a attacking option from her opponent.
However, this defensive maneuver came at the cost of missing opportunities for better protection of other underdefended pieces on the board. Additionally, Charkhalashvili could have developed one of her pieces more proactively by playing Re7. Nevertheless, she was able to develop her rook piece, which will be useful for active play in the future moves.
It's worth noting that while this move may seem somewhat straightforward, it did block a potential attacking path for Doluhanova.
