Radjabov,Teimour vs. Guliyev,Namig - Azerbaijan Championship Men 2025 1-0

In the Azerbaijan Championship Men 2025 on 2025.02.04 between Teimour Radjabov playing with white pieces versus Namig Guliyev playing with black pieces, a notable move was made by Black, Red7. This follows a capture, aiming to exploit the opponent's position. However, instead of putting pressure on White's position, it misses an opportunity to threaten and instead focuses on developing the rook. By connecting their rooks, Black creates synergy between them but fails to capitalize on the open file created by the rook's movement. Furthermore, this move does not force a response from White, as it misses the chance to dictate the pace of the game. The Black player also fails to develop other pieces in an active manner with Red7's play. Nonetheless, Red7 develops piece for active play which is somewhat beneficial, even though not fully realized.
