Fisher demands to deprive him of US citizenship and intends to marry a Japanese

The ex-champion of the world of chess Bobby Fisher, detained in Japan on charges of using an invalid American passport, sent a message to Secretary of State Colin Powell from prison with a demand to accept his rejection of US citizenship.

The grandmaster also plans to apply for a marriage with his long -standing acquaintance - the president of the Japanese federation of MIIOOO Vatai during this day, ITAR -TASS reports with reference to the statement of the lawyer of the former champion Masako Suzuki.

According to her, in a letter to the State Secretary, Fisher accused the US Embassy of Tokyo of refusing to send his representative to the ISCEC ISCOUSTIC SERVICE in the city near Tokyo, which now contains a chess player in order to accept an application for abandonment of American citizenship. In return, the grandmaster is proposed to arrive at the embassy for this. Fisher fears that there he will be captured and delivered to the United States.

In the United States, he faces up to 10 years in prison for violating the law on sanctions against Yugoslavia. The lawsuit against Fisher was instituted due to the fact that in 1992 he won a chess match in Belgrade and received a prize of $ 3.3 million, which is regarded as an illegal economic transaction.

The ex-champion was detained on July 13 at the Tokyo International Airport of Narita, since his passport was canceled. Now he is facing a deportation in the United States. It is possible that the marriage to the Japanese is called to interfere with this procedure. The chosen one Fisher, a chess player of Vatai, is included in the committee of his supporters, who operate in Japan, seeking the liberation of Grossmaster.
