After 6 rounds in Linares Topalov leads with 4,5/6 followed by Aronian (6 draws)and gritschuk 3/6.In his last 2 games,Topalov had 2 losing positions but win them both!
Topalov -Gritshuk round 5
What is strange is that he is considered by a great theoretician but got bad positions in the opening;maybe he doesn't want to show any preparation and keep secrets for his future match against Anand for the word championship.
Of course the live rating change and Now Topi is again on top:

Even worse was the game against Paco in the next round in a great Zeinot Vallejo blundered a full rook,but as somebody writes on playchess,time management is a must in chess!
