In the game between John Merriman and Richard G. Pert at the British Chess Championship on July 31, 2024, White's move Rd1 demonstrated a focus on active play by developing the rook to a more aggressive position. However, this move overlooked a potentially superior opportunity to address an immediate threat. Additionally, the move missed a chance to develop another piece, which might have contributed to a more strategic position.
