Hong,Andrew vs. Royal,Shreyas - XTX Markets London Classic-Elite 2024 1/2-1/2
In the game XTX Markets London Classic-Elite 2024 on November 29, 2024, between players Hong Andrew (White) and Royal Shreyas (Black), White's move Rd2+ was made. This move allowed White to gain a tempo advantage as it put pressure on Black's position without committing to an immediate attack. By forcing Black to respond, White created the opportunity for further development of other pieces. However, by playing Rd2+, White missed the chance to reveal their attack on a key piece and instead focused on controlling the center of the board with their rook. The move did allow for a potential rook capture along the open file, but it also meant that White's initial threat was somewhat muted, as they failed to develop other pieces to support this plan.
