Arjun Erigaisi attributed Vishwanathan Anand's recent poor performance in the Global Chess League (GCL) to a series of unfortunate blunders.
Despite the team's overall success, Anand has struggled to maintain his usual form, with Erigaisi noting the high-pressure environment of the tournament.
The GCL remains tightly contested, with four teams currently sharing the lead at the halfway point of the 2026 season.
