Hartge,Gedeon vs. Kesselmeier,Kevin - Deutsche Unimeisterschaft 2024 1-0

In the Deutsche Unimeisterschaft 2024 on November 30, 2024, between Hartge and Kesselmeier, Black's move Rh8 was made. This move allowed White to seize the initiative, as Rh8 develops the rook for active play. However, by playing Rh8, Black misses the opportunity to threaten White's position directly. Furthermore, this move ignores a more significant threat chance against White's pieces and fails to reveal an attack on any specific piece. It also misses the chance to force White into making a move or develop another piece to counterattack. Unfortunately for Black, Rh8 does not seize winning tempo as it does not put pressure on White's position immediately. This move does not even miss the opportunity to escape an impending attack by forcing White to respond to the rook development, and lastly, it doesn't force a move from White which can be used against them.
