Zeynalli, Rashad vs. Bassari, Senem Gul - Satranc Arena IM 2024 1-0

In the game between Zeynalli and Bassari at the Satranc Arena IM 2024 on July 10, 2024, Black played the move O-O-O. This move connects the rooks, enhancing their coordination for potential future activity. However, it allows White the opportunity to dislodge a potentially vulnerable piece. The decision to castle queenside means both kings are now positioned on the same side of the board, setting the stage for potentially intense pawn storms or tactical maneuvers. By castling queenside, Black misses a chance to immediately deploy a different piece into active play, opting instead to fortify the king's position.
