Woodward,Andy vs. Caruana,Fabiano - US Masters 2024 0-1

In the US Masters 2024 event on December 1, 2024, White player Andy Woodward made a move that has been analyzed in retrospect: Rb3. This move can be described as follows: By playing Rb3, Woodward loses control of his rook, which becomes a relatively exposed piece without any defenders to speak of. Furthermore, this move prevents the development of his queen and queen's bishop, as they must now divert their attention towards this new square.
