India's Viswanathan Anand losses to Ukraine's Vasily Ivanchuk in the ninth round of the 17th Amber Melody Amber Blindfold and Rapid chess tournament. Anand, however, drew with Ivanchuk in the blindfold section on Tuesday. With this trounce, Anand - with nine points - slide to seventh spot from a fixed fourth place.
In the rapid game, a gaffe from Anand made it a petite event. As Ivanchuk put it, 17...Bg4 was a 'terrible move', completely missing White's reply 18.Nb7, which won a place as collateral. Anand didn't pull through from this material shortfall and Ivanchuk in actual fact converted his advantage to state the point after 33 moves.
