GM Viswanathan Anand has defended his Rapid chess title in a match against GM Alexandar Grischuk. This was his fifth consecutive win in the Mainz Chess Classic tournament. Final score was 5-3.
After losing first two games, Grischuk did something quite strange. He also joined Ordix Open, one of the strongest rapid events ever, and this made his chess schedule to last from 10am till 10pm every day. Very hard even for the players in best possible physical shape. As he explained later, he didn`t win a game for more then three months and he desperatly wanted to restore his self-confidence.
