I don't like this move at all. Releasing the tension on d6 and a6 is too
lenient on Black's position. Asked after the game what they thought of
Wesley's play, most of the players agreed that it looked completely wrong and
anti-positional. "If it was White to move, I would consider playing Rc6 here"
