Hi, I'm really new to chess (i played at the age of 8 at the school but that's all). For now i just play and read the review of the match. And i was facing a difficult situation in my opinion, it was kind of block. And i did this move thinking i was wasting the development of other piece.
And finally it was the best ! And i don't know why, is that because it was really blocked ?
You protect your king from easy check on G, free said G for your rook (either controlling it, or trading rooks and lowering number of possible attackers on your king), and also push your opponent towards making move themselves, likely revealing more good options for your next moves.
