Anand Suffers Shock Chess Defeat
Just came across this article...
World Rapid chess champion Viswanathan Anand suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Russia's Evgeny Bareev going down 0.5-1.5 in a seventh round rapid game at the Amber Blindfold and Rapid chess tournament here.
Anand, who had dropped just one point in his first 12 games here easily drew the blindfold game against tailender Bareev with black pieces. In the rapid, however, which is considered his forte, Anand missed chances and lost a long-drawn battle.
