Norway Chess 1: Anand and So take the lead

52-year-old Vishy Anand continues to dazzle as he won a powerful game against Maxime Vachier-Lagrave to earn a full 3 points in Round 1 of Norway Chess and move back to the brink of the world Top 10. Wesley So was the only player to keep pace, defeating Teimour Radjabov in classical chess, while Magnus Carlsen, Anish Giri and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov were all only able to overcome their lower-rated opponents in Armageddon, picking up 1.5 points.
