The Clutch Chess: On the second day of Clutch Chess: The Legends, a battle between Viswanathan Anand and Garry Kasparov, India's five-time world champion Anand had a clear advantage on the board in the fifth game, played in rapid format. However, the Indian great seemed to forget about his clock and lost the game on time.

Anand had over a minute on his clock in a winning position but lost on time to Kasparov as day two of the 2025 Clutch Chess Legends got off to the worst possible start for the Indian legend.

Kasparov went on to dominate and won another game when Anand blundered a piece on move 17. Kasparov leads 8.5-3.5, but the intrigue remains, since 12 points are still up for grabs on the final day on Friday.
