This move missed the opportunity to threaten more aggressively by not utilizing its position to put pressure on Herrmann's king.
It also failed to consider the potential consequences of this development, ignoring superior threat chances and free capture opportunities that could have been leveraged to gain a material advantage or weaken Herrmann's pawn structure.
Moreover, Friedel missed the chance to reveal an attack on one of his pieces, potentially creating confusion among Herrmann's lines. However, the move did defend against an attacked piece by diverting attention away from it.
The rook now found itself in a well-defended position, having been protected from potential attacks. Nonetheless, Friedel also missed the opportunity to provide better protection for an underdefended piece, which could have helped strengthen his overall pawn structure.
Furthermore, this move blocked an opponent attack by preventing Herrmann from launching a strong assault on Friedel's position. Yet, it ultimately failed to achieve this goal and instead missed the chance to protect the underdefended piece.
Finally, Ra5+ developed the rook for active play, setting up Friedel for future maneuvers.
