Round 5 brought more bad luck continues for Nakamura, he ran into the red hot Javokhir Sindarov. Finally Nakamura gets a shot with the white pieces but he was up against up and coming gm from Uzbekistan, who now has won 4 out of 5 game. Sindarov sits at the top of the leader board, while number one seed Nakamura is tied for last place with 1.5 out of 5 . Nakamura has been bothered by the very tight security at the candidates match. He spend over 67 minutes on his 13th move in this game, which is quite surprising this early in a classical chess game. This is an indication of lack fo preparation.
