Topalov in double trouble!

Hello, folks! Forgive my delinquent entries to my Chess Corner blog. I haven't forgotten about you. But, in the mean time, here are the latest from the chess world:

The super-GM tournament in ciudad de Linares, Spain (XXIII Torneo Internactional de Ajedrez) is currently underway. After round four Veselin Topalov, the FIDE champ, is in deep trouble — or at least on the scoresheet. He lost to the young and extremely talented Teimour Radjabov of Azerbaijan in round two, and to Peter Leko of Hungary in round four. Leko is currently leading the elite pack with 3.5/4 points, tailed closely by Pyotr Svidler of Russia.
