With just one round to go in the 13th Unive Tournament at Hoogeveen, in the Netherlands, the naturalised Dutch GM Sergei Tiviakov (pictured) is leading by half a point.
Actually, Tiviakov's victory against Judit Polgar in round four has been the only decisive game so far of this rather anticlimactic small double-round robin tournament.
The final round on Saturday pits Tiviakov against young Anish Giri, and Polgar against Ivanchuk.

The concurrent Open event also ends on Saturday, with English GM Stewart Haslinger leading the 60+ strong field on an impressive 7/8, a full point ahead of Dutch GM Friso Nijboer, who Haslinger defeated in round eight. Among the chasing pack on 5.5/8 is Chess.com video author GM Josh Friedel.
