Nervous

Okay, so my tournament's tomorrow. No, I don't feel adequately prepared, but we'll see how it goes. I'm feeling a tad nervous. I know that'll go away after the first couple moves, but it's been a LONG time since I've done this...

I do feel, however, like I understand how to think my way through a game much better than before. Tonight, I'll do some more tactics exercises, go through my openings one more time, and try to get a good night's sleep.

It's a four-round Swiss, G/60, so the games are dual-rated normal and quick. The Portland Chess Club does this once a month, and they seem to have between 20-26 players every month that's not around the holidays. Ratings are all over the map (2100+ to below 700, most in the 1300-1700 range.) 

I'll post all my games here in a couple days once I get a chance to go through them with some annotations.
