In the game played between Dmitry Goltsev and Marek Karas on July 30, 2024, the move Rd7 by White is notable for several reasons. This move threatens to capture material, which forces Black to respond by moving their piece. While it does occupy the 7th rank, potentially pinning Black's piece to their king, it also misses an opportunity to reveal an attack on another piece and does not fully exploit the bishop’s potential mobility. Additionally, although it gains a tempo advantage by making Black react, it overlooks a chance to escape an existing attack. The rook’s placement does create a fork that attacks multiple pieces, yet the move also misses an opportunity to further develop White’s pieces.
