In the US Masters 2024 event on November 30, 2024, between Jacobson,Aaron playing with white pieces versus Belenkaya,Dina playing with black pieces, Aaron made a move that has been characterized as giving up material in an exchange, leaving his king without adequate protection. This unusual choice sacrificed one of his most valuable pieces unnecessarily, missing the opportunity to develop it more effectively and potentially gain a strategic advantage. However, it's worth noting that this move also allowed Aaron to focus on developing his piece for active play, which might be seen as a deliberate decision to prioritize long-term strategy over immediate material gains.
