Former world champion Viswanathan Anand has played out a second straight draw in the Sinquefield Cup which is a part of the Grand Chess tour. At St. Louis in the United States, Anand held American Fabiano Caruana with ease in the fourth round. Playing his third black in four games, Anand did not show any nervousness caused by losses with the slightly unfavourable colour in the game in round one and two. After an easy draw with Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, this was a confident performance by the Indian who is hoping for a comeback in the Three Lakh US Dollar prize money tournament. With five rounds still remaining, Levon Aronian of Armenia joined Vaselin Topalov at the top on three points from four games. The two are followed by Anish Giri of Holland and world champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway on Two and a Half points each. With just one point apiece so far, Anand and Caruana have hard work to do from the bottom of the tables.
