Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-13-16  Chessinfinite: Anand ahead in Leon 2016. Good show against the talented Wei Yi, and including a shock loss to D Anton !. Anand is probably getting warmed up for the GP rapids later.
Jun-13-16  sanju1996d: the loss against Anton was nothing much but a missed sequence. anand was better and pushing for win, but ended up with back rank weakness and losing the game.
Jun-18-16  diagonal: Spanish town Leon invited to its traditional chess event, the <29th Ciuduad de Leon> (during earlier years played various formats including advanced chess), in recent years held as a four-player <Rapid> k.o. tournament:

Vishy Anand beat Chinese prodigy Wei Yi in the finals and is now nine-time winner at Leon!
