Garayev,Kanan vs. Ibrahimli,Murad - Azerbaijan-ch 1st League 2025 0-1
In the Azerbaijan-ch 1st League 2025 event on January 8, 2025, Garayev played Rd1 with white pieces against Ibrahimli. This move is notable for overlooking a stronger option involving the knight, instead choosing to place his rook behind a passed pawn. Furthermore, this decision allows Ibrahimli to potentially kick the rook out of the way, which could lead to further complications. Additionally, by placing the rook on d1, Garayev pins Ibrahimli's piece in place, limiting its mobility and creating potential weaknesses. However, this move also represents a missed opportunity for more extensive development of his pieces, as he instead focuses on developing just one piece for active play.
