Cordova, Emilio vs. Krishnan, Varun - GM A 1-0

In the game between Emilio Cordova and Varun Krishnan at the GM A event on June 1, 2024, Black played Rd7, a move which, while defending a piece, overlooks a superior opportunity for development. It follows a capture but fails to capitalize on the chance to reveal a stronger attack on an opponent's piece. Moreover, it misses the opportunity for a more favorable material exchange and a better defense for an unprotected piece. Despite defending a threatened piece adequately, this move sacrifices potential initiative and fails to fully exploit the position's nuances.
