Both played badly. Anand was 2nd till the last round when he lost to Adams whom he had beaten earlier in Corus. So what? even Kasparov lost to Topalov so is he also worse than Leko? . Atleast Anand had a chance to fight for title against Kasparov Leko had no such chance. Really speaking it was not such a poor performance from Anand in both the tournaments and if u calculate properly he win gain some elo points and not lose some. Regards Vikrant
