TEYMUR RADJABOV UPSETS ANAND WITH BLACK PIECES
Peter Leko of Hungary also drew his game with local hope Arkadi Naiditsch in a keenly contested game and remained on a 50 per cent score, having drawn the first game with Anand.
For Naiditsch and Radjabov, it was their first points on the board in this category 18 tournament.
Radjabov, who beat Garry Kasparov of Russia in the Linares tournament in Spain earlier this year, became the first player to beat both Kasparov and Anand in classicial chess with black pieces in the same year.
The chess sensation from Baku showed his tactical brilliance yet again and pounced on his chances just when everyone thought Anand would cruise through with white.
Anand, who won the Corus Chess tournament this year, showed little signs of improving his record at Dortmund where he finished at the bottom of the pack in his last outing here in 2001.
The Indian wizard was in trouble right through, missing out on a number of chances.
