Saxena,Vihaan vs. Kurup,Siddharth - Marshall CC Premier 04-2025 1/2-1/2
In the game between Vihaan Saxena (White) and Siddharth Kurup (Black) at the Marshall CC Premier event on 2025.04.06, White made the move Rc1.
This move puts pressure on Black's position, potentially threatening material gain. However, it also opens up the possibility for an equal trade of pieces. By playing Rc1, White is proposing a fair exchange of pieces with Black, but may be missing out on a more advantageous material exchange.
Moreover, this move allows Black to kick one of White's pieces out of the way, creating an opportunity for counterplay. It also misses the chance to develop another piece for active play, instead choosing to focus solely on Rc1. Nevertheless, it does develop a key piece, Rc1, which will be active in the game.
