Perez Travieso, Saul vs. Serrano Ruiz, Miguel - Spanish Chess Championship u18 2024 1/2-1/2

In the game between Saul Perez Travieso and Miguel Serrano Ruiz at the Spanish Chess Championship U18 on August 1, 2024, Black’s move Rac7 proved to be quite consequential. This move resulted in the loss of material as Black sacrificed a piece without sufficient justification. The knight's optimal move was overlooked, potentially offering a stronger position. On the positive side, the move connected the rooks, aiming to create synergy along the file. However, it missed a critical opportunity to escape an impending attack and failed to address the chance for piece development, which could have led to more active play. Overall, Rac7, while establishing rook coordination, did not adequately address the other strategic needs of the position.
