Round five men's section
The summit between Germany 1 and Russia ended in four draws, with Vladimir
Kramnik playing a Petroff against Arkadij Naiditsch, who had sensationally beaten
him with a novelty in this opening in
Dortmund earlier this year. Armenia defeated the Netherlands to join Germany
and Russia in the lead, that has now swollen to six teams with 9/10 points.
Ukraine is one of them, after Vassily Ivanchuk ground down Peter Leko in 127
moves and the team defeated Hungary 2½:1½. That was the score
between England and Italy as well, but one must note that 16-year-old prodigy
Fabiano Caruana, who beat Viktor Korchnoi yesterday, did it again with the black
pieces against Michael Adams. Norway's dream trip ended when Azerbaijan took
their match 3:1. Third seed China could only beat 46th seed Scotland 2½:1½,
which must be regarded as a further upset in this round. Bulgaria defeated Slovenia
3½:½, with Veselin Topalov dropping the only half-point in his
game against Alexander Beliavsky.

Mark Crowther, who compiles and edits games for the London Chess Centre's
The Week in Chess
service (and for the weekly downloads in ChessBase), had done a small amount
of editing and correcting of the mens games from rounds 1-5. He cannot make
use of the compiled PGN files for the individual rounds from the official
site, he says, because he simply doesn't trust them. A number of games are
misattributed, and in facth rounds 1-2 for the women actually have the men's
games in them. The games above are taken from the live coverage and then
processed into the normal TWIC format. Mark has tinkered with probably around
20 results and false game endings in the above files for round 1-5.

Live coverage on Playchess
A selection of 32 games will be broadcast live on our chess server Playchess.com.
There will also be live video interviews with players after their games.
If you are not a member of the Playchess community (which as of Monday,
November 8th 2008 had 307,966 registered users) you can download
the free PGN reader ChessBase Light, which gives you immediate access.
You can also use the program to read, replay and analyse the PGN games.
If you have ChessBase, Fritz or any Fritz-compatible program (Rybka, Hiarcs,
Shredder) you can automatically access the server. All these programs
come with a one-year subscription to Playchess. Note that if you have
a trial account you may not be able to watch the games if too many registered
members are logged in.
