An hour later, the venue was already filled with a sea of people again as the sixth round was about to begin. This time, the attention fell onto two tables. First was on the GM section's table 3, where Master Susanto and Suleymanli Aydin would play against each other for the top spot, and the second one was in the U2250 section, where two geniuses, Arfan and Sheva, would have to fight for the first time in their career.
As for the IM section, well, there was not a lot of heat there. Laysa surprisingly dominated the entire field, getting five points out of six games. She was the current leader of the section and had already secured her second WGM norm, and now, she could stay relaxed and force draws for the rest of the tournament and would still be the winner of the IM section. That was why not a lot of people cared about the situation in that section right now.
