A tense finish

Rob Wilby was left on the burning deck whence all but he had fled. (I know Tony Tatam wants to read this match report.) Ayush lost fairly tamely, Klaus more dramatically, but Caleb's endgame technique, ending with a lovely bishop sacrifice, narrowed the gap. Rob was toughing it out on top board, picking off a pawn, then an exchange as the game entered the 4th hour. Then alas, Rob's king wandered into a mating net.
