    FIDE Deputy President Viswanathan Anand: Chess masters from four countries, which include India (five players) and Russia, are yet to get their visas from Canada to play in the upcoming FIDE Candidates Tournament to be held in Toronto from April 3-22, said a senior official of the International Chess Federation or FIDE.

    He also said the Federation has a Plan B in place.

    “We hope to get a reply from the Canadian authorities within a week... Not willing to move the event, we were diligently preparing together with an outstanding LOC, but we do have plan B,” said GM Emil Sutovsky, CEO, FIDE, in a post on X.
