Anand wants chess title match postponed

SOFIA, Bulgaria —

The clouded cover of volcanic ash from Iceland could affect a greatest chess eventuality of a year - this week's world championship compare in between Viswanathan Anand of India and Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria.

The compare was scheduled to begin April twenty-three in Sofia. But fortifying hold up Anand, stranded in Frankfurt since Saturday, says he's asked a World Chess Federation to carry over a compare at slightest 3 days.

Anand pronounced in an e-mail to a Associated Press which it would take twenty-eight hours to reach Sofia by train and he wouldn't be "in a mental state to fool around immediately after roving such a distance."

But a President of a Bulgarian Chess Federation Stefan Sergiev pronounced Monday it was impossible to carry over a opening rite due to blurb contracts.
