After 3 rounds we have a very strange constellation in this tournament: 5 players where everything just simply works, and 4 players where nothing works in the moment, and Bologan in the middle of these two groups.

Shirov scores his first half point in round 5! Recently he won the M-Tel Masters in Sofia, but here nothing he does seems to work.

On the other hand momentarly everything works for Motylev and Gashimov. They lead with fantastic 4/5 and a +2900 performance.

Tomorrow is a rest day.

Motylev wins with a fantastic +2900 rating performance. On the other end is Shirov, who will want to forget that this tournament ever happened.
