Muzychuk,Anna vs. Pourkashiyan,Atousa - FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 1-0
In the FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 on December 30, 2024, between Anna Muzychuk (White) and Atousa Pourkashiyan (Black), the move Rd1 played by Black is characterized by forcing a piece recapture to maintain material balance, as it threatens to gain an advantage in the center of the board. This move also gains a tempo advantage by immediately developing the rook while keeping its potential for future activity high. Moreover, the rook's position behind the passed pawn creates a strong initiative on Black's part. Additionally, this move pins White's rook against their king, creating a threat that forces Anna to respond carefully to avoid losing material. However, it seems that By playing Rd1, Black also missed an opportunity to further develop a piece early on in the game.
