World champion Viswanathan Anand and Asian Games gold medallist Koneru Humpy have announced to skip the Asian Games on Friday.
Both the players have already informed the All India Chess Federation (AICF) regarding their decision.
Anand said that he had prior commitments, so he could not attend the Asian Games to be held in China next month. Similarly, Humpy withdrew because she wanted to play some other international tournaments that offer more prize money.
