Cyrus Annotates Games From 2008

Note: if a game has no analysis, it just means Cyrus hasn't got to it yet, or he may not consider it worthy of analysis. We would like to use this page to post all our games collected from SDCC members, and many of the best ones Cyrus will annotate, but he can't get to all of them...
