NC Open Round 5

That's right!  After starting out slow, I actually ended up with a shot at some money.  I also needed a draw or win here to carry a post rating of 1800+.  

Even though I ended up losing, this was a fun game.  It was a very open, tactical game with both kings exposed and, at some point, under attack.  In the end, the tactical shots simply piled up and I couldn't answer them all.  A stark contrast to Round 4...
