Shuvalova,Polina vs. Wu,Rochelle - FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 1-0

In the FIDE Women World Blitz 2024 on December 30, 2024, Polina Shuvalova made a questionable move by playing Rc3 with white pieces against Rochelle Wu with black pieces. This pawn move leaves her rook without defenders and overlooks its potential to capture an open file. The decision also ignores the knight's more advantageous placement and misses opportunities for favorable piece exchanges. By developing this particular piece, Shuvalova is actually developing it for active play rather than leveraging its full potential as a attacking unit.
