Stavanger (Norway): Five-time World champion Viswanathan Anand will take on Ding Liren of China with white in the fourth round of Altibox Norway chess tournament here.

After a terrible start that cost him a game in tiebreaker and another in regular time control, Anand bounced back by winning a tiebreaker against Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of France in the previous round and this could be his chance to make things even by winning the normal game against Liren.

On two points from three rounds, Anand currently holds the eighth spot with seven rounds still to come. The win under normal games give two points while if the game is drawn a tiebreak game is played to determine the winner with black keeping draw-odds.
