World rapid chess champion Viswanathan Anand staged a great recovery after initial hiccups but a lot remains in the rounds to come in the Amber blindfold and rapid chess tournament now underway at Monte Carlo here.

Yesterday was a well-deserved a rest day for the 12 players, considering the efforts they have put in, so far.

Anand, the defending champion, shares the lead with Braingames champion Vladimir Kramnik of Russia and Hungarian Peter Leko after the end of the fourth round in this 11-rounds competition.

All the three leaders have 5.5 points each and are followed by ever-consistent Evgeny Bareev of Russia who is just a half point behind. Another half point adrift of Bareev are Russians Alexander Morozevich and Peter Svidler.
