[The simplest way to kill White's initiative here, was to just exchange queens with 25...Qg6
Possibly the German player entertained ambitions for more, but considering how poorly placed his pieces are (the fianchettoed knight is hardly textbook) it was time to undertake safety measures. 26.Qxg6

The difference is that with the move played, Black gains a few tempi harrassing White's queen, but doesn't gain much for it. With 26...Rd7 would finish developing his pieces and regroup to fight for the center.] 27.Qxc5
