In the FIDE WSTC Open 65 tournament on February 18, 2025, Patrick Hugentobler made a move with white pieces as Rd2, which significantly impacted the game's dynamics. This move led to a loss of material by White in exchange for no clear advantage. It also missed an opportunity to potentially threaten Black's position, instead opting for a risky sacrifice that did not seem justified at the time. Furthermore, this move revealed a blocked attack, leaving White's attacking chances unexplored. Moreover, it allowed Urban to kick an opponent piece, gaining a strategic upper hand in the game. The move failed to develop a piece for active play and instead focused on developing a single piece prematurely, setting the stage for further complications.
