Best Game of Round 1

IMHO, of course.

For the first round I'm giving the best game award to Paul Mac Intyre's win over Alex Cherniack -- several sacrifices (apparently sound) stripping the king of protection and leading to mate.

Agree or disagree? Leave a comment to let me know. If there is enough interest, I may open up the best game selection to you (the weblog readers) in future rounds.
