Ray,Sarathi vs. Sukhiashvili,Alexander - Marshall CC Premier 03-2025 1/2-1/2
In the Marshall CC Premier tournament on 2025.03.10 between Ray Sarathi playing with white pieces versus Sukhiashvili Alexander playing with black pieces, Black's move Rg2+ was made. This move can be seen as a missed opportunity to push past the pawn, allowing for further development and potential gains. However, by choosing this move, Black instead forces White to make a piece move, gaining a tempo advantage in the process. Unfortunately, it also misses the chance to capture an open file with the rook, which could have been a strong attacking strategy.
On the other hand, Rg2+ does develop the black rook for active play, albeit somewhat passively. Furthermore, it pins White's piece, exerting pressure on the opponent. Nevertheless, Black also fails to take full advantage of the move by not pursuing a stronger threat against White's position.
