Sandner,Gunter vs. Rooze,Jan - ESTCC-65 2025 1-0
In the game ESTCC-65 2025 between Gunter Sandner playing with white pieces versus Jan Rooze playing with black pieces on April 8, 2025, the move Rb7 was made by White. This move allowed for a gain in tempo advantage as it positioned the rook behind the passed pawn, creating space for further development. By moving the rook to b7, Gunter Sandner misses the opportunity to reveal an attack on his own piece, instead choosing to focus on developing his piece for active play. The move also creates a fork, attacking multiple pieces on the board. However, it is worth noting that this move could have been improved by taking advantage of a stronger threat chance or exploring alternative lines that would have allowed him to develop other pieces more effectively. Despite these limitations, Rb7 does develop the rook for active play and forces Jan Rooze's piece to respond.
