Unive Ends – Everyone Wake Up Now
Yes, that’s right: two final draws in the Unive Crown Group have brought the event to an end. Twelve games, eleven draws, and Tiviakov wins thanks to his round four victory of Polgar. Not all the tournament’s draws were dull, and the same goes for today’s games. Polgar-Ivanchuk was a non-effort, a quick Petroff where “Chuky” had no problems equalizing, but Tiviakov-Giri was a real game. Tiviakov played one of his pet variations, the Bishop’s Opening. Giri responded with a well-known line in which Black surrenders the bishop pair for a little space and a very safe position. Tiviakov tried until move 56 to make his bishops pay off, but couldn’t do it.
So the final standings look like this:
1. Tiviakov 3.5
2-3. Giri, Ivanchuk 3
4. Polgar 2.5
On to livelier events!
