Rapid Tournament Week 2

I don't know about you, but for me the club championship seems to have been dragging on forever, so I am quite pleased to have something else to report on. This is the 6 round rapid tournament that entered its second week on Thursday with rounds three and four.
Apart from me, other players who have won all their games are Layla Timergazi, Saurabh Gupta and Lawrence Farrington, all of whom missed the first two rounds. Alex Johnson came so close to beating Lawrence in round 4, but sadly blundered at the end. Lawrence and I have to play our last games in the club championships this week, so of the leaders only Layla and Saurabh have the chance to improve their positions. Here are the results and provisional pairings.
