3:30 pm – 8:00 pm Round 4

Finegold 1/2 Ippolito (At one point in the game, Ben had a big advantage in the game and on the clock. Dean fought valiantly with no time left on his clock to earn an important 1/2 point.)
Kraai 0-1 Becerra (A real grinder. It was a R vs B+1 with additional pawns on the board. Julio maneuvered masterfully to earn a full point.)
Yang 1/2 Papp (Yang had a near winning position but an oversight costs this young phenom 1/2 point. However, he is still on pace for IM and GM norm.)
Krush 0-1 Hansen (Irina was pushing hard but Eric defended well. Eventually, Irina’s position fell apart and Eric obtained a winning endgame. He is now back on track for his final IM norm.)
Antal 1-0 Kuljasevic (After a disastrous round 2, he bounced back with a strong game against Ben in round 3 as well as this game. He is back to 50%.)
