Vasques, Antonio Pedro Freixial vs. Saya, Ethan - September 03 Late 2024 1/2-1/2
In the game between Antonio Pedro Freixial Vasques (white) and Ethan Saya (black) during the September 03 Late 2024 event on September 3, 2024, Vasques played the move Rf6+. This move exchanges material, as the white rook sacrifices itself to force the black king to move. However, it leaves the white rook undefended. While the move gains a tempo advantage by forcing the opponent's piece to move, it misses the opportunity to threaten or reveal an attack on a piece. The move fails to provide a better escape from an attack and does not create a fork attacking multiple pieces. Despite these drawbacks, Rf6+ develops the white rook for active play.
