Here are the Round 5 games for Bilbao, and finally, big Mags gets his first win, saving a little face and giving him a little more confidence going into the final day.  Here are the games, brought to you by playchess.com and Fritz 12.

Standings after 5 Rounds:

                              W    D    L         Total

    Kramnik               2     3    0   =    9 points

    Anand                  1     4    0   =    7 points

    Mags                    1     2    2   =    5 points

    Shirov                 0     3    2   =    3 points

   David - if Shirov saw that, and if that was Mags was thinking, he was right to resign. That's kind of the Mags we all know so maybe something happened in the last 24 hours that turned him around. I'm sure he feels a little bit better but I'm not going to agree that he is back to top form yet. He's most likely burnt out on chess and just needs a breather. I know I would if I was as active as he was. He is going to have to regain the #1 world ranking(if he wants it) and steady himself for the next event. Thanks for the addition David!
