Mueller, Gerhard vs. Kusina, Jan - FIDE World Senior Team Chess Championships 65+ 2024 1/2-1/2

In the game between Gerhard Mueller (playing white) and Jan Kusina (playing black) at the FIDE World Senior Team Chess Championships 65+ 2024 on July 10, 2024, black played the move Rc8. This move, while developing a piece for active play, unfortunately allowed white to kick away a key defending piece. It missed the opportunity to evade the opponent's impending attack, which could have potentially improved black's defensive prospects. However, by placing the rook on c8, black aimed to enhance its influence on the c-file, potentially setting up for future tactical opportunities.
