This is a nice positional chess game between Ray Robson and Vincent Keymer from the 9th and final round of the 2025 Chennai Grand Masters. The opening is a Queen’s Indian Defense, Kasparov-Petrosian variation. The critical moments arise near move 13 with queenside pawn advances setting the stage for the rest of the game. After Robson’s 14th move a4, Keymer quickly exploits the hole on b4. Keymer went on to win the event convincingly with 7/9 and a performance rating of 2916.
