In my game against Robert King I missed a mate in 3 after my gross blunder of 18.g3?  18...Qh2+ 19.Kh2 Rh6+ 20.Kg1 Rh1#

Raoul essays a bizzare opening experiment and James tries to exploit it but an balanced ending is reached where James makes a subtle looking blunder with 69...Bb8 allowing a game winning zugzuwang by Raoul.  Instead 69...Bb6 maintains the balance.

Michael Fellinger goes down a pawn early but Dominick plays aggressively for an attack and it backfires when he loses a piece. Fellinger decides to give back not only one but two pawns for the dubious idea of stopping a relatively non existent attack.  Mazzotta has three pawns for the piece but Fellinger should win because he could win a pawn back with 44...Nxb2 and with very precise knight manuevering,control the enemy pawns. Sadly, he resigns in an equal position believing that he would not be able to stop the kingside pawns from queening.
