In the RLP-ch Rapid 2025 event on 2025.05.18, Verena Rotermund played a move that deviated from optimal strategies for White, specifically moving her rook to Ra1. This decision resulted in an immediate loss of material, as it left the piece exposed and vulnerable to attack. By moving the rook, Verena missed the opportunity to threaten Black's position more effectively.

The rook was positioned behind a passed pawn, creating an obstacle for potential counterplay. Moreover, it seems that Verena overlooked a potentially stronger move involving her knight.
