Shamsiddin Vokhidov and Mukhiddin Madaminov remain tied for first place at the UzChess Cup with one round to go, after both drew their games on Sunday. Ian Nepomniachtchi and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (pictured, right) scored wins to move within half a point of the leaders, while Nikolas Theodorou defeated Nodirbek Abdusattorov after the Uzbek grandmaster was caught by the touch-move rule in an equal endgame.
