The Tiger of Madras Still Roars

ChessAnalysisOver the boardChess PersonalitiesTournament
Vishi Anand camed back for a elite tournament to play the rapid and blitz world team championship in Hong Kong. And he showed a great play against yonger opponents in both tournaments.

Playing for the team Chess United Vishi scored a solid 7/11 in the rapid only losing vs Naiditsch, my favourite games was against Petrov and vs Chigaev specially cause he won both in a very different style.
And in the blitz he played better with 8/10 in the swiss but losing in thr round of 16 vs Pragg 1.5-0.5 and being eliminated by a Indian team

Technical Win

Normally the chess players when they are getting older the tactical and calculations skills goes down but the positional play and the technique remains intact.

Refuting the Scandinavian

Play this bad opening against a former world hampion maybe is not the best idea
