After defeating Garry Kasparov in the final two blitz games of the 'Clutch Chess: The Legends' exhibition event, five-time world chess champion Viswanathan Anand said, "At least I don't have to hide my face when I return home." He added, "I was missing the practical touch completely...I think I deserved this." Anand lost to Kasparov 11-13 in the exhibition event.
