(Jan 14-2013-updated game for complete score)
I lost a long game to veteran IM Szalancy. It took a long time to actually lose but the game was decided very early in the middlegame when I tried an active line with a tactical hole. Then I found a way to accelerate my demise.

My game was one of the last to finish so I was unable to see what was happening with the other games.
