Tziotzios,Dimitrios vs. Siskos,Marios - White Tower Open-B 2025 1-0

In the game White Tower Open-B 2025 on January 5, 2025, between Dimitrios Tziotzios playing with white pieces and Marios Siskos playing with black pieces, the move Rh5 by Black is notable for several strategic considerations. The response to Rh5 could have led to a more favorable trade of pieces, but instead, it missed an opportunity to safely escape the attack on a valuable piece. Furthermore, by defending the attacked piece, Black may have inadvertently made the piece even more difficult to protect in the future. Additionally, this move did not provide sufficient protection for the underdefended piece, leaving it vulnerable to potential attacks. However, one advantage of playing Rh5 is that it blocks the opponent's attack on a key piece, potentially limiting White's attacking chances. Nevertheless, a better defensive strategy might have involved developing the piece in a more active and threatening manner, rather than simply responding to the immediate threat.
