Anand agrees draw in 33 moves against Anish to finish 9th in the final ranking ... Overall very disappointing London classic for Anand ... Other hand Carlsen scores win for tied for top spot with Giri and Vachier-Lagrave ... This leading to a very exciting three-way playoff ... Due to the nature of the rules, Vachier-Lagrave and Giri first squared off, with MVL prevailing in a dramatic turnaround ... He then faced Carlsen for the title ... In the end Magnus Carlsen claimed both the London Classic title and the Grand Chess Tour.
