Unive 05: Adams wins game, So wins event

by ChessBase
10/26/2013 – The only decisive game in today's round was Adam's very clean victory over Van Wely. However this, combined with the draw between So and Van Kampen, clinches the tournament victory for the Filipino as neither Van Kampen or Adams, who are tied with second, can reach him and his 1.5 point advantage. The open section is lead by Rodshtein, but anything can happen there tomorrow. GM Analysis of today.

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 calm before the storm in the open section

Round 5

Van Wely was outplayed by Adams. The Dutch had a moment where he could have tried to equalize, but he did not seize the opportunity and it was all downill from there.

So's draw today was enough for him to clinch first place with one round to go

Adams can now fight for second place as he has as many points as Van Kampen

A little old school relaying taking place in Unive

Van Kampen will battle a weakened Van Wely with black tomorrow. If he wins he at least ties for second.

WIM Lorena Zepeda is having an amazing performance in the open section raking in over 22 FIDE points

The Open section continue with Rodshtein and Moskalenko in the lead, but the Israeli has taken a half point advantage as he won his game while Moskalenko could only draw. L'Ami
