Unlike the situation in the side hall, where almost all the players had already left since Sheva ran away from the crowd, the main hall was still pretty much occupied by people, all of them watching the game either from close distance or observing from afar. Even with the crowds around, the silence and tension there was palpable, enough to suffocate all of those players with weak hearts.
Everyone could see that most players who were still on the table were frowning, all thinking hard about their situation. This was a very important round for both sections, as the current leader for the GM and IM sections could secure their win in this round. Both leaders of the two sections, two Indian players, had the chance to dominate the entire tournament here. They only needed a draw to secure the win in their section, and honestly, for a professional player, it was pretty easy to force that.
