Mistake Eraser is right to ignore the hanging c pawn. He played the best move. The game completely swung on 21. Be7. Bandibacsi is supposed to attack the bishop with Rd6 and instead he tried to trade off pieces given that he was up two pawns. 29. Rd8 is the best (as Nimish correctly called) but the position is already lost because Mistake Eraser's king is too close. It was interesting that Mistake Eraser had his king so close.
11. Nxe4 was correct by Mistake Eraser, extremely clever move to win a pawn Moves 28 & 29, Mistake Eraser is supposed to play c5 (deflection) and he would have a huge advantage. He instead opted for a rook trade which gives eval of 0. The game was lost when Mistake Eraser did not play Kc6 or Kc7 (only moves!). Bandibacsi was absolutely correct that he could not win without Mistake Eraser's mistake in this pawn endgame.
Players got nervous in game 4. Mistake Eraser hung his rook on move 35. Bandibacsi didn't take it (he should have) and instead blundered back by moving his king, leaving his own rook defenseless. But Mistake Eraser had 15 seconds left and didn't capture it. He should have and would have had an advantage.
I analyzed the games on lichess. I put Mistake Eraser's accuracy first and Bandibacsi's second.

Knight sacrifice mentioned by Ojala was correct.
Mistake Eraser missed en passant capture but the game was already his.

26. Qxe5+ was correct. And Bg8# was correct. This game was more one-sided.
Congrats to @bandibacsi66 on winning. And it was cool that both players did pre-game and post-game interviews.
