Statement from Vishwanathan Anand, World Chess Champion
I am happy to note that Chess teams from India and Israel will play in the India Israel Chess Match in Delhi. I wish the players all success and hope it will provide the right background for the world championship match later in May.
Both countries have a lot of promising young talent and we will surely witness a lot of entertaining games.
My regards and wishes to the players. A special word of mention to the AICF for bringing this event to India and we hope to witness many such events in the future.
