Patel,Zain vs. Nelson,Jonathan P - 4NCL Div 1 2024-25 1/2-1/2

In the 4NCL Div 1 event on November 24, 2024, Patel,Zain played Rh5+, a move that gains tempo advantage by forcing Nelson,Jonathan P to respond quickly. This aggressive move also puts pressure on Black's position and can potentially lead to some imbalances in favor of White. However, it's worth noting that developing the rook instead of playing a more traditional pawn storm might have been a better choice, as it would have allowed for more flexible development of other pieces. Despite this, Rh5+ is still a solid move that aims to take control of the center and create some space for other pieces to develop, which could lead to active play down the line.
