WHY IT'S BETTER Engine suggested: Rae1 Another 'excellent' move! 21. Rae1 is a textbook example of effective positional play.

KEY PRINCIPLE Activate Rooks on Open Files: Rooks are powerful pieces, especially on open or semi-open files.

This is a clear indicator of progress in your 'Improve Tactical Awareness' goal.
