Interesting game: Tsolakidou Stavroula - Vaishali Rameshbabu (1-0)

Image
In Tbilisi, during the first round of the FIDE Grand Prix, the match between Tsolakidou Stavroula and Vaishali Rameshbabu took place. The Indian player, who holds the title of Grandmaster and is the elder sister of the prodigious Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa, made a questionable move with 25...Nxe5? after the position shown in the diagram. It's peculiar, as it implies a compelled forfeiture of quality without any recompense. Could it be a transient obscuration?
