Five time world champion Vishwanathan Anand defeated reigning world champion Magnus Carlsen to jump to the joint third spot after the end of the fourth round of Norway Chess tournament. After three draws in the first four rounds of the tournament Anand's hunt for the victory ended in a delightful manner as the Indian ace crushed Carlsen in all departments of the game to move up to 2.5 points out of a possible four. Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria surged ahead of the rest with his third victory in four games coming at the expense of Levon Aronian of Armenia. With five rounds still remaining in the $305,000 prize money tournament, Topalov is sitting pretty on a staggering 3.5 points.
