Linares 2005 update - After round 10

Kasparov leading the table with 6.5 points. Anand, Leko and Topalov having 4.5 each. Both Anand and Topalov has two day rest so far, but Kasparov and Leko only one.

In this 14 round event Kasparov has very good chance to emerge as sole leader. He has 4 wins so far, 2 against Spain's Grandmaster Vallejo Pons and one very good win against world champion Kasimdzhanov. Anand's sole win came in round two again Bulgarian Grandmaster Topalov. Rest all his matches ended in draw so far. Most surprising result of the tournament is Kasimdzhanov losing to Vallejo. England's Grandmaster Adams has 4 points, he lost to Kasparov in round 5, to Topalov in round 1 but won again Vallejo in round 7.
