Anand beats Karpov
Ajaccio (France): World Champion Viswanathan Anand tamed former World Champion Anatoly Karpov of Russia in successive two encounters to win the rapid four-game chess series 3.5-0.5 here.
The Indian, who was leading the series 1.5-0.5 after winning the first game and drawing the second with the Russian at Bastia, beat Karpov in both the remaining games to ensure a spectacular victory.
It was a Queen’s gambit declined by Karpov in the first game and Anand got an opening advantage after Karpov did not place his queen properly.
The match lasted 30 moves. — PTI
