On what turned out to be an easy day as black, Anand did not have to worry too much and a comfortable draw in the end ensured that the Indian tied for the second spot and finished third in the event.
Karjakin defeated Fabiano Caruana of United States to end on 8.5 points out of a possible 14 to win the Candidates solely by a full point margin.
It was a tense final round wherein Caruana, needing a victory with black, took his chances but a brilliant rook sacrifice by Karjakin sealed the victory.
