In the game between Nicolas Skettos and Christopher Nield at the Scottish Championship International Open 2024 on July 11, 2024, Christopher Nield played the move Re8. This move was aimed at activating the rook along an open file, indicating a strategic intent to improve the rook's position for active play.

It also did not fully utilize the potential to pin an opponent's piece or to initiate an attack that could have forced a response from the opponent. Although developing the rook to an open file is a fundamental strategic goal in chess, the move Re8 might have overlooked possibilities for direct tactical impact or defensive maneuvers that could have enhanced its effectiveness in the position.
