Ticona Rocabado,Licael Roderick vs. Pessoa,Vitor Henrique Leopo - BCS-Floripa Super Blitz 2025 1-0

In the BCS-Floripa Super Blitz 2025 event on January 22, 2025, Licael Roderick played a questionable move as Black, exchanging his rook for White's rook on the c5 square. This move allows White to eliminate an attacking piece and captures material in exchange, but it leaves White's king without any defenders. Moreover, this move misses an opportunity to threaten White's position and ignores the potential for capturing more material. By not revealing an attack on the White rook, Black also misses a chance to escape potential danger. Furthermore, the move fails to defend the White-attacked piece, which is now better protected by its placement on c5. Additionally, this exchange does not provide better protection for the underdefended piece or a favorable material exchange. However, it does develop the rook for active play, which could be seen as a positive aspect of the move.
