In the game between Andres Rodriguez Vila and Stephen Jessel at the Brazil Chess Series Floripa 2025 on January 22, 2025, black player Jessel made a move that can be described as eliminating an attacking piece by sacrificing it, thereby gaining material. However, this move also left the king in a vulnerable position without any defenders to protect it. Furthermore, it failed to threaten the opponent's position, revealing a previously blocked attack and making it more difficult for white to launch a successful counterattack.
On the other hand, Jessel's move did block white's potential attack on his piece, which was now well defended and ready for active play. Additionally, this move created a fork, attacking multiple pieces that were essential to white's strategy, putting pressure on Andres Rodriguez Vila's position. By developing his piece in such a manner, Jessel gained an advantage and set the stage for further strategic maneuvering.
