As I have a doctor's appt tomorrow morning, I will post the pairings with the colors and try to update them before I leave and will finish when I get back. Well, I get back to see all the games are finished and that 3 players have advanced to Round 5! I will post Sergey Karjakin's win over Nikita Vitiugov since it was the only game not drawn. Looks like Caruana and So are going to rely on their rapid chess skills going into the tiebreak rounds.

Good to have that done ahead of time, now I just have to update in the morning, (done updating, just bumming that I had to miss some games, the same tomorrow as I have to go get a chest x-ray to make sure I'm not getting a touch of pneumonia like this summer.) Congrats to those who have advanced to Round 5, I'm a bit of a Mamedyarov fan, but to see GM So or GM Caruana take it would be news as well, also GM Sergei Karjakin! Whose game follows:
GM Nikita Vitiugov vs GM Sergey Karjakin
