Round 5 Begins

This appears to be a much more serious tournament than in previous years.  It is pin drop silent and I don't even have to be a TD Nazi.  Players are cordial, courteous, and really know the rules.  Last round we had a touch - take ruling where Keegan called Emmett on a Bishop-Knight exchange.  Emmett ended up winning the game, however.  This will prove exciting with two tied for first place and four tied for third place.
