[Notes have been corrected somewhat for spelling and grammar, and a few additional notes have been made. Plus, it's now published with the fancy ChessBase viewer.]
In the new edition of Florida CHESS, the FCA's quarterly magazine, the three 'brilliancy prize'* games from the 23rd Space Coast Open are reproduced. The first and third place games are provided with notes, but not the second place game. That seems wrong to me, so I've made an attempt at providing an analysis of the game. With all due apologies to Mr. Andretta and Mr. Dawley, here is my effort.
(The game can be replayed either at the link above, or below the fold within the webpage. Does anyone have an opinion on which they prefer?)
* I agree with Paul Leggett that these would be more properly called 'best game' prizes. 'Brilliancy' is a lot to live up to!

Third Place Brilliancy Prize from the Space Coast Open
I did quite well at the SCO this year. (See MAXIMUM EFFORT!) Not only did I finish clear second in my section, with 4.5/5, I also won Third Place in the Brilliancy Prize contest.
Below I've posted the game. I'll post the full notes in a replayable window (how I wish I had the current version of ChessBase for that purpose!), but I'm also going to pull a few positions out for particular comment.
Thanks to Peter Dyson for organizing the tournament, and to IM Javad Maharramzade for picking my game out of the masses for a prize. I'm unlikely to win another one of these!
