The Zurich Chess Challenge blitz touranament was won by Caruana (2757)!
World Chess Champion, Anand (2780) finished last in the 4 player round robin tournament.
Anand lost 0-2 to both Kramnik and Caruana and won 1.5-0.5 against Gelfand! (I hope its part of his tournament strategy!)
Check out this huge blunder by Anand against Kramnik.
Position after Black's 44...axb3
Here, Anand played Rxb3?? and immediately resigned. What madness!
