Wartiovaara,Oliver vs. Arun,Nitish - Reykjavik Open 2025 0-1

In the Reykjavik Open 2025 event on April 10, 2025, player Arun, Nitish played a crucial move with his black pieces, Rf7. This follows capture, as Black gives up material in exchange for other benefits. This move threatens material loss directly for White by putting their king in danger of being captured. However, it is worth noting that this move does not necessarily lead to immediate material loss but rather creates an opportunity for the opponent. Moreover, by playing Rf7, Nitish misses a chance to capture White's piece in a more advantageous position. Despite this, the move forces White to respond, potentially altering their strategy and positioning. Nitish's choice also allows White to potentially use its pieces against Black in a way that could be difficult for Black to counter. Additionally, by playing Rf7, Nitish fails to take better advantage of his material gain, leaving it vulnerable to potential attacks from White. However, this move does defend the attacked piece and helps put White's king at risk. In essence, the move puts pressure on White and forces them to make a strategic decision about how to respond.
