Levitan,Caleb Levi vs. Cabarkapa,Novak - Vojvodina League 2024 1-0

In the game between Caleb Levi and Novak Cabarkapa during the Vojvodina League 2024 on October 31, 2024, the move Rxc6 by Black is notable for several reasons. This capture effectively removes an attacking piece from the board, thus enhancing Black's position. Additionally, it allows the rook to become more active, contributing to a stronger presence in the game. However, the move overlooks an opportunity to capture a free piece that could have provided further advantage. Furthermore, it fails to defend another unprotected piece that remains vulnerable to attack. While the rook is now well defended after this move, there was a missed chance for better protection of an underdefended piece. The move also blocks an opponent's attack but neglects to take advantage of other opportunities for improving defense and material exchange. Overall, Rxc6 serves as a double-edged decision that strengthens Black's position while simultaneously missing several tactical opportunities.
