World Champion Vladimir Kramnik is on a good way to win his 8th Dortmund Sparkassen. Currently he is leading with 3.5 points out of 5, with "easy" schedule in the remaining two rounds. Kramnik will face Arkadij Naiditsch, whom he beat at the last-year Olympiad, in round 6 with White pieces. Last round he is playing Black against Russian champion Evgeny Alexeev. The two have never played before.
Vladimir Kramnik
Viswanathan Anand and Evgeny Alekseev, who just saved tough position against Naiditsch in 5th round, are half point behind Kramnik. Dortmund Chess Meeting goes as expected, with only five decided games out of 20 played. The main problem is obviously the clumsy 8-player single round-robin, where players are not eager to take too much risk.
Chessvibes has videos and interviews from Dortmund.
