Bad rook pawn moves (a3/h3 or a6/h6)
Compiled by YouRang
--*--

There are many games where someone played the rook pawn to a3/h3 (for white) or a6/h6 (for black), and many times this move is a game-ruining waste of time, if not a tactical blunder. This collection features some of those bad cases.

14...a6? goes from equal game to downhill plunge
Timoshenko vs H Suradiradja, 1997 
(A56) Benoni Defense, 27 moves, 1-0

Game ended in a hurry after ill-advised ...a6 (thanks saturn2)
Smirin vs Y Afek, 1992 
(B30) Sicilian, 10 moves, 1-0
