I agree that this game may not deserve a brilliancy prize, but I do not agree
with your definition of brilliancy. It is ok for me if there are some mistakes,
I vaguely remember a game between Capablanca and Janowsky. First Janowsky
outplayed Capablanca, then Capablanca defended very well and Janowsky made some
mistakes... and at the end Capablanca won. It is considered one of his
masterpieces, simply a brilliant game. It should not be difficult to find, it
must be one of the earliest games between those two great players.
José.
