I was looking at the Tata Steel final standings just now.  There's a column labeled SB that some of the players have numbers under.  Anyone know what this stat is?  Stolen bases?

Where do you see that? It's not listed on the official site standings.

However, most likely it's just a tie-break method: Sonneborn-Berger.

Thanks Martin_Stahl, that must be it.  I saw it on Chess.com's article:
