Comments:

Red power!

The Red Team beat the leading Violet Team with a convincing 4-2 score.

The latter is still in the lead, but the rest of the teams has gotten closer.

I recommend you to download the PGN from Round 5 as usual, in it
you will find amongst others a real GM draw between Stockfish and Naum.

Round 6-10 which is coming up next is bascially a mirror of Round 1-5.

So that means that we get the same openings as the previous rounds, but
with the teams reversed to make everything balanced.



Standings After Round 5 Of 10:

18.0 [+2 =2 -1] Violet Team
16.5 [+2 =2 -1] Orange Team
16.0 [+3 =1 -1] Green Team
16.0 [+2 =1 -2] Red Team
12.0 [+1 =1 -3] Blue Team
11.5 [+1 =1 -3] Olive Team
