Vladimir Kramnik still leads the Unive tournament after drawing with Maxime Vachier-Lagrave in the third round. The Frenchman castled long and the middlegame proved to be tense at first, but the players eventually settled for drawish exchanges.
The other game between Judit Polgar and Anish Giri was drawn, but after a rather quiet opening.
