Grant also gave an honourable mention to the following game, Simon Schmidt - Richard Voon: "This was the second best game - and is worthy of the brilliancy
prize. White plays a very nice game and
outplays black who also plays a reasonable game. The game is also quite
pretty and is a standard type of Sicilian position. This is a hard
position to play well with white which gives the game extra points."
