World Champion Viswanathan Anand bowed out of contention for a top finish in the Bilbao Grand Slam final chess tournament after losing from a better position against Levon Aronian of Armenia in the eighth round.

After suffering his second loss in the tournament, Anand’s number one world ranking also came under threat and unless there is a revival in fortunes of the Indian ace, he stands to lose some precious rating points as well from the tournament.

Anand is now a distant joint fifth having just 6 points apiece. For him, there were two disturbing things from the defeat against Aronian. One he lost with white and secondly he misplayed a superior endgame.
