Round 4 some games

Super 4th place in this line up. All of my 3 losses came from southgamer@southgamer (SouthGamer) - expected outcome of our games.
Last games can be decisive ones and with something on the line and this round illustrated that nicely. These type of situations add more to the tournament and competitive chess experience.
It was fun chess.

Game against rodrook@rodrook (RDcast) was nail biter. This was position where I have only 18 seconds to finish the game.

Time pressure just throws you off.
So many mistakes in next 31 move. Yes the game went for 31 more moves after this. With 2 seconds left checkmate was there.
Yes berserk for fun.
