New Delhi: World champion Viswanathan Anand Tuesday fell from the top spot to placed fifth in the latest world rankings issued by the game’s world governing body Fide.
It is after a gap of over a decade that Anand is placed outside the top three. He was crowned the world No.1 in April 2007 but slid to second place in January this year only to regain the top spot in April.
Meanwhile, Koneru Humpy maintained her second spot behind Hungarian Judith Polgar in the ladies’ list.
