Here are my games from the Hotel New Yorker Open last weekend. I got a
lost position in every game but managed to salvage two draws.
I would appreciate anybody telling me where I went wrong, except in
the game from Round 5. In that game i just carelessly reversed opening
moves on move 6 leading to an immediate loss.
