Sanz Gorospe,Ibai vs. Abergel,Thal - 21st Open Gran Hotel Bali-A 2024 0-1

In the 21st Open Gran Hotel Bali-A 2024 chess game on November 30, 2024, Black player Abergel played a notable move with Rh7 against White player Sanz Gorospe. The move is characterized by: Sanz Gorospe's opponent chose to attack the piece, potentially gaining an advantage. However, this decision came at the cost of ignoring a stronger threat from the attack that was about to develop on another part of the board. By moving Rh7, Abergel allowed her opponent's pawn to potentially kick or gain momentum. The current position of the pieces shows that Abergel's piece is now well defended, thanks in part to the move that has been made. Unfortunately, this defensive strategy comes at the cost of missing a better opportunity for underdefended pieces on the board to receive more protection. By moving Rh7, Abergel also blocked her opponent's attack and prevented Sanz Gorospe from gaining a material advantage. Furthermore, by choosing to advance her piece with Rh7, Abergel missed the chance to develop it in a more strategic manner, potentially leading to better play later in the game. Ultimately, this move allowed Abergel to utilize the piece for active play and create new attacking opportunities.
