Dortmund 5: Carlsen, Leko win, Carlsen leads

The first half of the Sparkassen Super-GM ended with Peter Leko demolishing Etienne Bacrot after the French GM blundered on move 36. Magnus Carlsen kept the pressure up against Arkadij Naiditsch’s Berlin Defence, until the German player committed an innocuous looking error and crumbled. Carlsen is once again in the sold lead with a 2885 performance. Full illustrated report.
