Zouaghi,Ahmed vs. Girard,Adrien - Djerba Festival Open-B 2025 1-0
In the Djerba Festival Open-B 2025 game between Zouaghi,Ahmed (white) and Girard,Adrien (black), on February 18, 2025, the black player made a move that threatened material gain by placing their rook behind the passed pawn. However, this sacrifice put their underdefended piece in a vulnerable position.
The rook's placement actually shielded it from further attack by Girard. This defensive strategy was somewhat undermined by the lack of protection for Girard's other pieces. Nevertheless, it helped prevent Zouaghi from launching an immediate counterattack. Furthermore, by using this move, Girard effectively pinned Zouaghi's rook to their own king, which temporarily shifted the initiative in favor of black.
