In this year's Tata (Corus) tournament Hari joined Vishy in top group ... Hari started really well ... He started with upset win over Giri in the first round in 59 moves ... After that in next 2 rounds he hold higher rated Fabiano Caruana and Levon Aronian ... In 4th round he faced WR #1 Magnus Carlsen ... Hari made a mistake under time pressure in 40th move and Carlsen take full advantage of it winning this game in 49 moves.
Other hand Anand had slow start in this tournament ... Anand had quite draw against Nakamura in the first round ... In the second round Anand had a chance but Giri played very defensive end game forcing draw after 46 moves ... In the third round Anand defeated Spanish Fabiano Caruana in exciting match ... Caruana made a blunder on 34 moves and Anand take full advantage to beat him in 41 moves ... In 4th round Anand scored one of the best victory playing with Black against Levon Aronian ... Anand himself rated this win one of the top among his best games ... Carlsen termed this Anand win as 'mind blowing' ... Anand demolished Levon Aronian in 23 moves playing with Black ... This was a great game to follow.
After four rounds Anand is tied for top position with Magnus Carlsen and Sergey Karjakin with 3 points ... Hari is tied for 4th position with 6 other players.
Viswanathan Anand - "This could easily be one of the best games I have played. To win a game like this against Levon, who is my nightmare opponent, as you probably know, is definitely wonderful. Funnily enough both my black wins against him have been real classics. I don't win that often, but when I do it is at least a good one."
Levon Aronian - "I think I ran into a theoretical trap. I was not aware of Bc5, which is very strong. Vishy said he had prepared it for somebody else. I should study openings better."
