The time control was 12+3.
Against potentially my toughest opponent (USCF OTB 2100+) I tried to play sharp. However, my record is pretty positive against this guy.

I had one draw against a lower-rated player. I was winning that game but blew it somehow.
I appeared to be losing my last round game. I was in a "must-win" situation to win the tournament. I thought that if I simplify the ending that I might outfox my opponent.

Perhaps the most important thing is that I didn't make any losing blunders that I know of. I haven't analyzed the games yet. I did fail to win a game that I should have won against a lower rated player and I will be examining how I messed that up.
