The penultimate round game annotated by GM Pavel Maletin:

I think that the following quote from Men's Health (Russia) magazine can serve as an epigraph for the decisive game of the event:

What the hell do you, a grown-up map, need all this for?

This is almost impossible to explain. I will try though. You know, when you walk out on stage everything is no longer relevant: bad sex, money problems, progressing alcoholism, veneric diseases, terrible everyday conditions, general exhaustedness from continuous travels. You are feeling like you are on the top of the world, as a centre of the Universe, through which its energy is flowing into the hall to the few fans of yours out there. You are becoming that 10-year old kid who has once made an exalted decision to be an artist. This is absolute happiness. These moments are probably worth all the shit you have to go through, dude. 

Khenkin (2638) - Maletin (2592), 0-1, annotated by GM Maletin

This was from Round 8, the penultimate round, not the final round
