In the Asian Zonal 32 Women chess tournament held on March 13, 2025, White player Tharushi made the move Rh5, which can be described as a bold and somewhat aggressive play. This move forces Black to respond, potentially creating counterplay for White.
The rook positioned behind the passed pawn is now at risk of being captured by Black, yet this also opens up opportunities for it to kick or become more active on the board. However, Tharushi has missed the chance to defend the unprotected piece that was just moved.
By playing Rh5, Tharushi defends against the potential attack on her own piece, putting it in a safer position. This move develops the rook and prepares it for active play, potentially leading to some interesting strategic decisions.
