These four co-leaders will face each other in round six, with 28 closely trailing players, including top seeds Vladimir Fedoseev and Bogdan-Daniel Deac, eager to challenge for the top. | Photo: Mark Livshitz

Four co-leaders
Ivan Cheparinov and Aleksandar Indjic have surged into the lead at the European Chess Championship following victories in round five, joining Frederik Svane and Maksim Chigaev at the top. Cheparinov and Indjic were among eighteen players trailing by just half a point after four rounds, while Svane and Chigaev, both co-leaders, agreed to a swift 13-move draw on the top board. This result opened the door for Cheparinov and Indjic to catch up.
Cheparinov's fifth-round victory over Nikita Petrov was a marathon 106-move battle, testing his endurance and precision. Cheparinov managed to gain a pawn on move 28, but his path to victory was far from straightforward. He had to carefully defend his material advantage through an endgame that involved both queens and bishops.
Master Class Vol.13 - Tigran Petrosian
Considered a master of prophylaxis, Petrosian sensed dangers long before they actually became acute on the board. In his prime, Petrosian was almost invincible. Let our authors introduce you into the world of Tigran Petrosian.
Eventually, the game boiled down to a pure queen endgame, with Petrov narrowly missing several chances to secure a draw by perpetual check. In a dramatic finish, the board even saw three queens before Petrov finally resigned.

Aleksandar Indjic's win, in contrast, concluded early in the round. Playing with the black pieces, he defeated Felix Blohberger in just 29 moves with a swift checkmating sequence. Indjic's striking 25...Ng4+ move set up a tricky decision for Blohberger, who captured the knight with 26.hxg4 - instead, 26.Kh1 was the correct continuation, which would have kept the battle going.
This allowed Indjic to capitalise on his position with an unstoppable attack: 26...Rh8+ 27.Bh3 Qf7 28.Rxa8 Qf1 (threatening mate on h3) 29.Rxh8 Qg1#.
A stylish conclusion that showcased the Serbian's tactical alertness.
Round six promises more excitement as Svane and Cheparinov clash with Svane holding the white pieces, while Indjic will also play white against Chigaev. The leaders, however, are closely followed by a competitive pack of 28 players who trail by only half a point, including top seeds Vladimir Fedoseev and Bogdan-Daniel Deac.

This entry into the 60 minutes series concentrates on the Modern variation of the Italian game where White opens the centre early : 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc4 Nf6 4 d4 exd4 5 e5!. This line can be reached by various move orders, most frequently from the Scotch 3 d4 exd4 4 Bc4. It's a sharp variation and Grandmasters such as Evgeny Sveshnikov have used it frequently,with very good results. It's a perfect line for club players to adopt which is relatively easy to learn and which contains many traps. All the main responses are covered here, including 5...d5, 5...Ng4 and 5...Ne4 and the conclusion is that is is difficult for Black to equalize in a straightforward way. Problems are being posed, which over the board might prove tough to solve.
