  • Anand had already gotten off to a winning start earlier in the day and so started with a one-point lead.

    However, the 47-year-old 's lacklustre play midway through the match landed him in a tight spot.

    His Malaysian opponent, though, was equally culpable, if not more, of making some weak moves as the game was drawn in 71 moves.

    Apart from Anand, Sethuraman and Gujrathi, Karthikeyan Murali also managed to stun Francisco Vallejo to take their match into the tie-breaker.

    B Adhiban, as well, forced his game into a tie-breaker against Ngoc Truong Son but Deep Sengupta was knocked out.
