Guirat,Saber vs. Ferrandi,Bernard - Djerba Festival Open-B 2025 1-0

During the Djerba Festival Open-B 2025 on 02.17.2025, between players Guirat and Saber playing white, and Ferrandi and Bernard playing black, a notable move by Black was Reb8. This move allowed for the connection of rooks, creating synergy in the position. However, it resulted in losing material, as Black surrendered one of their pawns to White's control. By moving their rook to the eighth rank, Black created an opportunity for the rooks on the file to work together. Unfortunately, this move also missed the chance to push the passed pawn, potentially gaining a strategic advantage. Moreover, it failed to escape the impending attack, which could have compromised the safety of other pieces. Furthermore, Reb8 missed the opportunity to defend the unprotected piece on the board and protect the underdefended piece as well. On the bright side, this move did develop one of Black's rooks for active play in the game.
