First Round Completed

The games can be viewed here

The file for the blitz games is added

SM disclaimed he could not play the Standard Tour for schedule reasons. JWocky takes the leave point. Keith did not show up. I am willing to give him a chance to contact me and schedule a time to complete the game before I assign me the leave point
(That's why there's no database for the Standard)

IAHMCOL and JWocky both comment:
13... Qd6 (??) {Wait, what? how does that protect Queen from both Bf4 and Qd1 ??}

IAHMCOL comments
18... Nxe8(!?) {I suggests, 18...Rxe8!, skewering the Qe7. Nothing can protect now Rxe7 on the following move, and making an about even field,
also if 19. Qxe8+, then 19... Nxe8, making also an even field}
