----------------------------------------------------------------------   Svidler suffers as Topalov wins again in round 5 to extend his lead in the event. Photo © http://www.wccsanluis.net Round 5 3rd October 2005 Vesselin Topalov's remarkable run continues. A sharp sacrifice took the game into a complex ending which looked at least fine for Peter Svidler. However Topalov is at home in these unclear positions and Svidler weakened before first time control and soon had to resign. Topalov has started with 4.5/5 and although a loss could derail his progress he has proved remarkably robost following losses in events earlier in the year. Viswanathan Anand was better against Peter Leko and may have missed chances but Anand couldn't make progress in an ending an exchange for pawn up. Judit Polgar got some kind of advantage against Alexander Morozevich's Philidor's Defence but didn't even come close to exploiting it and the game trailed out to a draw at the first time control. Michael Adams got a comfortable opening against Rustam Kasimdzhanov but his advantage never seemed enough and the game was level when the players repeated positions.
