A Brilliant Idea By Khismatullin

In round 10 of the European Individual Chess Championship Denis Khismatullin defeated Pavel Eljanov with a very unusual sacrifice in a queen and rook ending. When I first replayed the game I did a kind of double-take after clicking through the move, and reader Jeffrey Hall subsequently wrote in about the move, which he labeled "beyond stunning".
See it for yourself here - it is truly spectacular.
