Wills,Tom vs. Goh,Jinghan Cameron - 4NCL Div 2 2024-25 1-0

In the game between Tom Wills and Jinghan Cameron in the 4NCL Div 2 2024-25 event on November 23, 2024, Black played the move Rxc4, which resulted in a significant elimination of attacking pieces. This move allowed Black to gain material, although it may have been better to capture the piece for further compensation. However, by playing Rx-c4, Black failed to capitalize on a free capture opportunity and missed the chance to secure additional material. Furthermore, this move ignored a potential opportunity to escape an attack that might have arisen from White's position. The Rxc4 move also had the effect of well defending Black's piece, although it may have been preferable to take better measures to protect an underdefended piece. By playing Rx-c4, Black effectively blocked White's attacking possibility at this point in the game. It is worth noting that the Rxc4 move did develop a piece for active play, which could be seen as a positive aspect of the move. Nevertheless, the overall assessment of the move suggests that it was somewhat counterintuitive and may have set up Black for further complications.
