Anand pulling out of world championship?

India's pride Viswanathan Anand has reportedly pulled out of the world chess championship in Tripoli. The champion player is not taking part in the meet in a show of protest against some decisions of the world chess federation (FIDE).

The knockout event featuring 128 players will be held at the Libyan capital from 18 June to 13 July.

The Indian Super GM is currently in Russia to receive the Chess Oscar.

According to FIDE plans, the winner of the world meet will meet Garri Kasparov (the world's No. 1 player) and the runner-up will face Vladimir Kramnik (No. 3).

The winners of these two matches will then take on each other in a game to determine the ultimate winner.
