Viswanathan crushes Maxime Vachier-Lagravein |
World Rapid champion Viswanathan Anand came up with an inspired performance to outplay Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of France and jump to joint lead on 3.5 points after the end of the seventh round of Altibox Norway Chess tournament in Norway. The win came after five draws and one battle against Chinese Ding Liren that was declared as a non-played game after the latter withdrew. Anand came up with a surprise weapon by going for the open Spanish and as expected, Vachier-Lagrave chose a double edged continuation that gave Anand enough chances.
