Efroimski,Marsel vs. Pert,Max - XTX Markets London Masters 2024 0-1
In the game between Efroimski,Marsel (White) and Pert,Max (Black) at the XTX Markets London Masters 2024 on November 30, 2024, Marsel's move Rxf4 is notable for overlooking a threat to his king, failing to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a successful attack. Instead of capitalizing on this chance, Marsel proposes a trade of pieces, which would have likely led to an uneven exchange. The real concern lies in how Marsel misses the potential for open file captures and fails to utilize the development of one of his pieces. Furthermore, by playing Rxf4, Marsel does not effectively shield his piece from possible counterattacks.
