Bobby Fischer arrives in Iceland

Former world chess champion Bobby Fischer has arrived in Iceland's capital, Reykjavik, after spending eight months in detention in Japan.




Mr Fischer has been granted Icelandic citizenship, avoiding deportation to his native United States.

He is wanted in the US for breaking international sanctions by playing a match in Yugoslavia in 1992.

The 62-year-old chess legend was detained in July trying to leave Japan using a revoked US passport.

After his release on Thursday he flew from Tokyo to Denmark on a scheduled flight.

He then boarded a private plane chartered by Icelandic television.
