The World Chess Championship resumed in Mexico after a one-day
interval.

At the fifth round Armenian Grand Master Levon Aronyan was beaten by
Boris Gelfand. Presently, the Armenian GM shares the 5th-7th places
with Peter Leko and Alexander Morozevich with 2 points each.

Vishvanatan Anand won over Peter Swidler at the fifth round. Currently,
Anand leads the fixture table with 3.5 points.

Peter Leko played a draw with Vladimir Kramnik and Alexander Grishchuk
won over Alexander Morozevich.

Aronyan’s contender will be Peter Swidler at the sixth round. Provided
Aronyan wins over Swidler, he will have a chance to strive for
leader’s title.
