  GrahamClayton: A rare example of a drawn game being awarded a brilliancy prize.

Factor's inventive sacrifice with 10. Bf3! gives him the initiative.

19...0-0 loses to 20. Bxd5 Nxd5 21. Rxc5 bxc5 22. Qg4.

Whitaker settles for a draw by perpetual check, as 31...Qxc6 32.Qh6+ Ke8 33.Qe3+ Kd7 34.Qe7+ Kc8 35.Qd8+ Kb7 36.Qb8+ Ka6 37.c8=Q+ wins for White.
