The small town of Hoogeveen is again a center of attention for the chess world. Both the Unive Crown Tournament and the Unive Open have started in Hoogeveen, sponsored by the Unive cooperative insurance company in the Netherlands. The main attraction is of course the super grandmaster double round robin tournament that will run from the 20th of October until the 27th.
The playing area
Not a super gigantic chess set, but comfortable enough for four spectators to analyze a devious position
Wesley So showed good technique against Van Kampen, whose small mistake in the opening slowly snowballed into big difficulties
Van Wely chose a not very promising variation against Adams' Nimzo-Indian and the Englishman had no problem holding a draw
In the open section Maxime Rodshtein (left) and Viktor Moskalenko (not pictured) have taken a lead with 4.5/5. Today Rodshtein defeated the German GM Felix Levin (right).
The area for the top boards of the open
And their pursuers! The tournament has a few surprises. For example, FM Goudriaan, FM Okkes and IM Sachdev have 4.0/5, half more than Krasenkow!
The lower boards don't have as much room, but that doesn't make their games any less intense
As usual, the top games are being relayed live and with commentary
