“A Positional Misjudgment: Keymer–Sindarov”

Toadofsky

This sounds much more like a tactical error (missing 25... e4) than a positional mis-judgment.

You can view it like that. The reason why I call it positional error is because the move is bad even if you overlook e4. It does statically improve Black ́s position and the way White is punished just steams from the idea, that positional chess will still have effect trough concrete moves and ideas. And even if you turn the engine on, there are line where Black plays without e4, as well as White stands much better not playing Bxe5.

Keymers problem is that he chose a passive position which doesn't suit his playing temperament, while Sindarov got exactly what he wanted.
