In the German Chess Amateur Championship 2024 held on August 1st, Jann-Christian Tiarks, playing with the black pieces, played the move Rc1. This move allows White to potentially dislodge a piece, while also creating a pin that restricts White's piece. Additionally, the move pins White's piece directly to their king, which can be a strong strategic advantage. However, by opting for this move, Tiarks missed an opportunity to develop another piece further. On the positive side, Rc1 actively contributes to piece development, enhancing Black's overall position.
