In the game between Ian Nepomniachtchi and Ivan Saric at the Grand Chess Tour: SuperUnited Croatia Rapid & Blitz 2024 on July 11, 2024, Ivan Saric played the move Re5 as Black. This move aims to defend a piece that was under attack, showing a strategic effort to safeguard a threatened position. However, it missed an opportunity for a stronger defensive maneuver against an unprotected piece, which could have improved his position further. The move Re5 also ignored a potential chance to initiate an attack on an opponent's piece, which could have created tactical complications for his opponent. Despite these considerations, Re5 does develop the rook to a more active position, potentially setting the stage for future tactical possibilities in the game.
