Olympic-style torch relay to be introduced ahead of 44th Chess Olympiad, every relay to start from India

Chess Olympiad to be held in July-August near here will mark the introduction of Olympic-style torch relay which will be run ahead of the showpiece every edition, the world governing body of the sport announced on Tuesday. Such a relay will always begin from India -- the birthplace of chess -- and will travel across all continents before reaching the host city. The torch relay will, however, be run only in India this time due to paucity of time and Indian chess legend Viswanathan Anand will be one of the participants. "50 days to go for Chennai Olympiad. Do watch, cheer and join me at the Olympiad Torch Relay," Anand tweeted.
