Norway Chess: Anand crushes Carlsen, Jumps to Joint 3rd spot

In the Norway Chess tournament, which is a part of the Grand Chess Tour, five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand has jumped to the joint third spot. In the fourth round at Stavanger, Anand defeated reigning world champion Magnus Carlsen. After three draws in the tournament, Anand's hunt for the victory ended in a delightful manner as the Indian ace crushed Carlsen in all departments of the game to move up to two and a half points out of a possible four. Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria surged ahead of the rest with his third victory in four games coming at the expense of Levon Aronian of Armenia. Topalov is sitting pretty on a staggering Three and a Half points, a half point ahead American Hikaru Nakamura. Five rounds still remain in the 305,000 US Dollar prize money tournament.
