In the fifth round Topalov lost again, this time to Carlsen (who played the Alekhine!). Leko had a good position against Anand but eventually lost it. Aronian-Shirov and Radjabov-Ivanchuk ended in a draw.Photos: Macauley.Two things make the start of Morelia/Linares special: there have been many Black victories (6 of the 20 games, to 5 White victories) and besides, (actually already after 4 rounds) everybody has already lost a game!Links:
