Skripchenko,Almira vs. Grimault,Leane - Top 12 FRA-chT Women Pools 2025 0-1
In the Top 12 FRA-chT Women Pools 2025 event on 2025.05.09 between Almira Skripchenko and Leane Grimault, Black makes a provocative move by playing Rb3+, which forces White to think twice about their next step.
This move gains an immediate tempo advantage, as it creates pressure on the opponent's position and forces them to respond before they can develop their pieces fully.
By playing Rb3+, Black allows White to kick one of their pieces out of the way, potentially creating a weakness in the position that Black can exploit later. However, this move also misses an opportunity for Black to develop another piece simultaneously.
On the other hand, by moving the rook, Black develops the piece and prepares it for active play, potentially setting up a strong attack or counterattack on the opponent's position.
