Eljanov, Pavel vs. Nepomniachtchi, Ian - June 4 Late 2024 0-1
In the June 4 Late 2024 event between Pavel Eljanov and Ian Nepomniachtchi, white played the move Rb1. This move overlooks the opportunity to connect rooks and positions the rook behind a passed pawn, failing to optimize rook coordination. Neglecting the chance to enhance piece coordination, it allows the opponent to kick a white piece, potentially disrupting white's position. Moreover, Rb1 misses the potential for better piece advancement and fails to capitalize on the opportunity to develop a piece effectively. Despite these drawbacks, the move does contribute to white's active play by initiating the development of a rook.
