Anand wins bronze at World Blitz Chess Championship

RIYADH: Viswanathan Anand continued his excellent run bagging a bronze in the World Blitz Chess Championship following his gold winning performance in the Rapid section only a couple of days back.

After ending the first day of the Blitz category on a disappointing note when he suffered a loss at the hands of Ian Nepomniachtchi of Russia, Anand was a class act on the final day. World champion Carlsen had seven points and he ended with an overall tally of sixteen points on the final day. Anand scored 7.5 points for a tied 2nd place with Sergey Karjakin.
