Defending champion Vishwanathan Anand won his board to catch up with
Krishnan Sasikiran, who suffered a shock defeat, to share the lead after the
penultimate league round in the prestigious World Cup chess tournament in
Hyderabad on Sunday.
Sasikiran, who inflicted a defeat on Anand in the second round, lost to the
second-best player in Asia, Rustam Kasimdzhanov of Uzbekistan, in 35 moves.
He has now 2.5 points, the same as Anand. The two Indian stars share the
lead in Group C.
While Anand and Sasikiran are likely to qualify for the knock-out from Group
C, Alexander Beliavsky of Slovenia leads Goup D with three points.
