In the game between Yuriy Kuzubov and Andrei Negrean at EICC 2025 on March 15, 2025, the move Rxa5 was played by White. This move follows a capture, as it takes the pawn of Black. By doing so, White gains material, as the pawn is captured. However, the analysis suggests that White may have been overly optimistic about this gain, as it ignores a potentially stronger threat from Black's position. The move also results in White's rook being placed on the open file, making it a free piece with great mobility. Nevertheless, by playing Rxa5, White misses an opportunity to develop one of its pieces more proactively.
