------------------------------------------------------------------Dortmund Round 5 12th July 2005 With a rest day on Wednesday the players put a full day in on Tuesday with a total of 300 moves being played. There was only one decisive game however. The first game to finish was the explosive Peter Svidler against Emil Sutovsky. The fought out a dynamic struggle which ended on move 29 with perpetual. Vlaimir Kramnik is still clearly struggling. He lost a pawn as white against Michael Adams and had to be careful not to allow Adams winning chances. Arkadij Naiditsch against Loek Van Wely was a complex Sicilian sideline where both sides manoevered for an advantage. Vesselin Topalov likes the Benoni as black even though it has the reputation for being unsound. He nearly paid with the full point again Etienne Bacrot. Bacrot missed a concrete chance on move 39 and even though his position looked good even after this he couldn't find a way to break through. Peter Leko was the day's only winner. He was black against Peter Heine Nielsen and equalised early on. White gradually drifted into trouble at first losing a pawn and then allowing Leko to improve the positioning of his pieces and then finally break through for the full point.
