I promised you a little story in my last thread. I promise you this is true.

Many, many years ago I was competing in a county under-18 championship. The tournament was held in a school and organisation was a shambles. It's probably harsh to criticise organisers who I'm sure were unpaid volunteers, but the fact was that - for example - rounds started late, not because the players weren't ready but because the organisers didn't get back from the pub in time.

Anyway, there was a Best Game prize for the tournament, and a witty friend of mine decided to use this to bait the organisers. He copied the moves from a famous grandmaster game between Tal and [? can't remember], full of dazzling sacrifices and reputedly one of the most brilliant games ever played. He then attributed the game to the two weakest players in the most junior section of the tournament, and entered it for the Best Game competition.

The result? It was awarded second prize!

Ha! Good Story. I wonder: Was there a third prize awarded? If not, how many games were entered into the Best Game competition. Two, maybe?
