In the FIDE WSTC Open 50 2025 event on 2025.02.20 between players Varga,Zoltan and Barron,Michael, black player Barron made a move starting with Rb2. This move allows for a potential piece kick by opponent's rook, as it temporarily weakens the opponent's pawn structure. By playing this move, Barron misses an opportunity to develop his bishop on the queenside, which could have potentially strengthened his pawn chain. However, Rb2 does develop the rook, positioning it for active play and preparing to potentially attack white's position.
