In the 17th Memorial Lezcano Montalvo 2025 chess game on April 15, 2025, between Trocoli Romero (White) and Schmitz, Manuela (Black), Black's move Rf7 stands out as a significant misstep. By playing this move, Black loses material in exchange, which could have potentially changed the course of the game. Instead of developing their piece for active play, Black chooses to develop it unnecessarily, ignoring the superior threat chance presented by White's position. This move also misses opportunities to threaten and seize winning tempo, allowing White to maintain control of the center. Furthermore, Black fails to escape an attack on a piece, which could have led to a more favorable outcome. Additionally, this move allows White to develop their piece in a more advantageous way, effectively kicking Black's piece out of play. Overall, Rf7 is a costly mistake that puts pressure on Black to recover from the loss of material and make amends in the following moves.
