Ishan Arjun P Y vs. Nihira Koul - 1st Konde Memorial 2025 0-1
In the 1st Konde Memorial 2025 chess match on February 2, 2025, between Ishan Arjun P Y playing with white pieces and Nihira Koul playing with black pieces, White's move Rf1 was made.
Rf1 is a rook move that positions the piece behind the passed pawn, which might seem like an attempt to strengthen the pawn but actually misses an opportunity to create a threat. By doing so, it also allows Black to potentially kick the rook out of the way. Furthermore, this move fails to develop the piece in an active manner, as it doesn't attack any pieces directly or prepare for a potential push.
However, it's worth noting that Rf1 does develop the rook and sets it up for future play.
