Anand wins Leon Masters for the 10th time

Five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand defeated Spaniard Jaime Santos Latasa 3-1 in the Leon Masters finals. The 54-year-old Anand, who lived in Spain for many years before shifting his base back to Chennai, proved yet again that this was one of his favourite hunting grounds. It was in 1996, or 28 years back, that Anand won his first title here. The tournament featured four players with Arjun Erigaise and Veselin Topalov being the other two players.
