In the game between Jamison Edrich Kao and Matthieu Loncke during the WACC U2300 Open on October 28, 2024, the move Rd4 by White was a multifaceted decision. While it did provide solid defense for an attacked piece, it overlooked several critical opportunities that could have shifted the game's momentum. The move failed to capitalize on a chance to threaten Black's position effectively. Additionally, it neglected a superior opportunity that could have been exploited, missing the potential for a free capture. Although it reinforced the defense of a vulnerable piece, it did not enhance protection for another piece that remained underdefended. Moreover, Rd4 blocked an opponent's attack but missed a vital chance to compel Black to respond to a more pressing threat. While this move did contribute to developing White's position for more active play, it ultimately missed out on several strategic advantages that could have been leveraged in the game.
