Freed flawed chess genius heads for new life in Iceland

Chess legend Bobby Fischer landed in Denmark for a brief stopover today on the journey to his new home, Iceland, after being released from nine months in a Japanese detention centre.

Fischer, the first passenger to emerge from the Tokyo flight, did not even glance at a crowd of reporters gathered inside the Copenhagen terminal. Two police officers ushered him and his fiancee down a staircase and into an unmarked van.
