This move seems to be overly cautious, as it fails to seize an opportunity to launch a strong attack or capture material. It is notable for connecting the rooks on the same file, creating a powerful synergy that could have been leveraged. Notably, this connection does indeed result in the rook capturing the open file, which could have been utilized more aggressively.
