Far West Open: Final Day

The tournament is over. Tying for first with 5-1 scores were GM Kudrin, IM Sevillano, and IM Antal. Edit: tying for fourth - sixth were myself, GM Jesse Kraai, and SM John Bryant (with 4.5).

My games today were also interesting-- but suddenly I've hit bottom, like all my energy just dropped out from under me.

I will edit this post with further notes later. There should be a blitz game soon to decide who officially holds the title, but I tend to think such things are silly, and consider the three winners co-champions.

Here are my games:
