Dec-23-09		Ron: After 35 ... Nc3 it may seem that Black has put White in a difficult position, with White's queen and rook being forked and if 36 BxN then 36 ... Rxb1, but that is not the case! White plays 36 Rxb8, leaving his queen in en prise. Ater 36 .. NxQ White's pawn is set on a course to queen and Black resigns on move 40

Dec-24-09		XMarxT3hSpot: Indeed impressive combination. White must have seen it when playing 35. Rb1 Yet Black still went 35...Nc3. I wonder if Black didn't calculate, underwent time trouble, or simply thought that White overlook the move.

Jan-01-10		notyetagm: Great combination by Khismatullin.

Mar-13-10		notyetagm: http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/malcolm... A nice finish from the Russian Championship Senan Sjugirov Denis Khismatullin Position after 35...Nc3; Black\'s last move sets up a double attack but how did White finish the game off neatly Answer: 36.Rxb8! Nxa4 37.Nb6 Naxb6 38.axb6 c4 39.b7 Qb6+ 40.Kg2 1-0

May-08-10		alexrawlings: Could make a nice Wed or Thu puzzle with White to move at move 36.

Jun-09-10		GrahamClayton: While Khismatullin's performance in the 2009 Russian Championship is best remembered for his loss to A Tifomeev: A Timofeev vs D Khismatullin, 2009 This game shows that he can also play spectacular moves as well.
