In the Marshall Masters FIDE Rapid 2025 event on 2025.01.22, Zeltsan Joseph played the move Rb5 with black pieces against Dong Kyle Qiyu with white pieces. This move allows his opponent's rook to be kicked out of the corner, where it is somewhat exposed. By playing Rb5, Zeltsan misses an opportunity for better protection of the underdefended pawn on a nearby square, which could have provided additional support. However, by developing his rook to this square, he does create a more active role for his piece and prepares for future play.
