Despite only having 12 rated players, the air was ripe with intensity for rd 4. There was no less action and drama for the six or so playing casually in the skittles room.
The top two games both came down to seconds with James MacDougall(2014) and Adam Shaw(1790) playing to a draw in a fascinating game and Gil Holmes(1820) out lasting David Boyd(1485) to claim the point. In contrast, Ron Hinds quickly succumbed to Ralph "Buccaneer" Buske's(1482) charge.
In the U1505 section, Shaun McCoy(1360) and Andrew Minion(815) agreed to disagree, drawing the game. "The Patriot" Christian Dunlap(950) claimed the point against Vincent Mahoney in a very interesting endgame and Mike Mayfield(1346) and Riku Koivusalo agreed to a draw in a opposite colored bishop endgame.
The round 5 showdown will be James MacDougall with 3.5 points vs Ben Caiello with 3 points in the Open. Shaun McCoy is atop the U1505 with 3.5 points with Manion and Mayfield not far behind.
