Three draws meant that Viswanathan Anand won the Classical section of the Zurich Chess Challenge. However the winner of the event will be decided by a combination of these results and the rapid event tomorrow. The classical scores are worth double the rapid ones.

Anand better than equalised against Sergey Karjakin and eventually used this to liquidate into a drawn endgame.

Fabiano Caruana's treatment of the Giuoco Piano presented Vladimir Kramnik with some novel problems but it didn't prove enough to get a serious advantage.

Final Round 5 Classical Standings (2pts for a win 1pt for a draw added to normal scoring for the rapid): Anand 7pts, Nakamura 6pts, Kramnik 5pts, Karjakin, Caruana, Aronian 4pts.

Thursday 19th 12pm GMT Rapid. 5 rounds with reversed colours to the Classical section.
