Keymer,Vincent vs. Costa,Leonardo - 96th German-ch Meister 2025 1-0
In the 96th German-ch Meister 2025 event on 2025.05.18, between Keymer,Vincent (white) and Costa,Leonardo (black), Black's move g5 is a notable decision. The pawn on g5 appears to be following up on a capture move, but this development comes at the cost of missing several key opportunities.
By playing g5, Black fails to capitalize on potential threats, instead allowing White to maintain control over the center and develop other pieces for active play. This move also misses out on pushing a passed pawn, which could have led to a significant advantage in the game. Furthermore, by advancing the pawn to g5, Black inadvertently exposes themselves to an attack that they may struggle to defend against.
It's worth noting that this move does see development of a piece for active play, which is a positive aspect. However, overall, g5 feels like a missed chance rather than a bold strategic choice.
