Newly-crowned World Rapid Champion Viswanathan Anand won two and drew four in the first six rounds to make a slow start to his campaign at the world blitz chess championship here yesterday. With absolutely no time to relax after a brilliant show that saw him clinch the World Rapid Championship, Anand was a bit tentative at the start of the world blitz that is played with just three minutes to each player with a two second increment after every move is made.
