In the chess game between Alexey Sarana and Fabiano Caruana during the Main Event on July 31, 2024, the move Rb2 by White is notable for several reasons. The move follows a capture, setting up a potential material gain for White. However, it overlooks a significant threat posed by Black and misses an opportunity for a free capture that could have further benefited White. Additionally, the move neglects the chance to develop another piece, though it does enhance the activity of the rook by positioning it more dynamically.
