Can someone play a game worthy of a brilliancy prize instead of “well, he blundered, then I blundered, so I lost”? I’m not sure if we can even have a “greatest upset” prize because almost every time it’s not a surprise who wins and loses.

eg: I went up two Pawns early on Rocky Rook, and thought I’d have an easy win. But he rocked me in the middlegame and came out with the advantage. But then he messed up allowing me to win.
