What round 4 was, round 5 wasn't. (As a dear old friend, now departed, used to say when I told him about an unsuccessful game or tournament, "They can't all be gems!") But as Scarlett O'Hara famously said, "Tomorrow is another day!" Here's what's on tap for Monday's round - round 6:

• Carlsen (2) - Vachier-Lagrave (2)
• Nakamura (3.5) - Karjakin (2.5)
• Aronian (3) - Kramnik (3)
• Giri (2.5) - So (2.5)
• Caruana (2.5) - Anand (1.5)
