Van Wely, Loek vs. Albers, Sasa - German Bundesliga 2024/25 1/2-1/2

In the match between Loek van Wely and Sasa Albers during the German Bundesliga 2024/25 on September 29, 2024, the move Rxc2 played by White is notable for several reasons. This move effectively captures material, gaining a tangible advantage. However, it overlooks a more pressing threat from Black, which could have been addressed. By executing this capture, White also allows Black to potentially displace an active piece. Furthermore, the move neglects to defend a piece that was left vulnerable and misses an opportunity to bolster another piece that was inadequately protected. While it does promote the development of a piece for more aggressive play, overall, it reflects a missed chance to enhance White's position strategically.
