World Champion Viswanathan Anand outclassed Teimour Radjabov of Azerbaijan 2-0 in the sixth round of the Amber Blindfold and Rapid Chess tournament on Saturday.
The victory gave Anand joint second spot, along with Vladimir Kramnik of Russia on 7.5 points, in the combined standings after a rather sedate start. Anand slipped a bit in the blindfold game after attaining a winning position, but regained form during his return rapid game.
