ST LOUIS (USA), Aug 17: Former world champion Viswanathan Anand suffered a disappointing final round loss against Sergey Karjakin of Russia to finish joint eighth in the St Louis Rapid Chess tournament here today.
After raising visions of a good finish, luck did not favour Grandmaster Anand much on the final day as he was first held to a draw by Le Quang Leim of Vietnam in the seventh round and then shared points with Fabiano Caruana of United States in the penultimate round. The Indian ace ended on seven points, coming through one win, five draws and two losses in the event that gave two points for a win and one for a draw. � PTI
