The ”Tiger of Madras” as he is sometimes called by his adoring nation, Viswanathan (or Vishy which is his nickname by his many chess fans) Anand played a splendid game with the white pieces against Aronian in the second round and today he repeated his success with the white pieces by beating Nakamura who was the sole leader in the tournament. Anand has proved that he is in really good shape again after the setback in the recent tournament in Baden-Baden.

Tomorrow round 5, which is the last round, has the following meetings:

GM Fabiano Caruana 3 p. – GM Vladimir Kramnik 4 p.

GM Hikaru Nakamura 5 p. – GM Levon Aronian 3 p.

GM Sergey Karjakin 3 p. – GM Viswanathan Anand 6 p.
