Court delays Fischer deportation

The controversial player was detained in Japan while trying to travel to the Philippines on a revoked US passport.
Mr Fischer has tried to fight his deportation by applying for political asylum in Japan and renouncing his US citizenship - both of which have been rejected by the Japanese courts.
He also recently confirmed plans to marry a Japanese woman, Miyoko Watai, the head of the Japan Chess Association.
