I missed the end of the games. I can't believe we did not beat the number 8 seeds. I am guessing Shivan and Sam were in horrendous time trouble. He appears to have missed 48. Qxf5+ winning the rook!

Looking for the good players out there, is Sam's not fairly drawn?
if Kxe4 (forced as Kf6 is a mate in 4) then Rxg3+
