World champion Viswanathan Anand defeated Norwegian Magnus Carlsen and jumped to the top spot in the unofficial live ratings after the end of the second round in the ongoing Bilbao Final Masters chess tournament in Bilbao, Spain, on Sunday. The Indian chess ace cashed in on his chances with black pieces to take over the top ranking in live ratings.

The 16-year-old GM from Azerbaijan is the first player to beat both Kasparov and Anand with black pieces in the same year.

He drew with Grandmaster Alexei Barsov of Uzbekistan, his fifth successive draw in as many rounds, in the fifth round of the 65th Hastings International Chess Congress.
