A set of disgruntled elements have announced that they
have formed a Chess Association as rivals to the All
India Chess Federation. In their mails the Chess
Association of India has announced that, with the
permission of World Chess Federation Inc (a rival to
FIDE) they will organize an open tournament at Delhi
from 23rd Dec with a Prize fund of Rs.15 Lakhs
All India Chess Federation cautions all chess players
affiliated to us not to participate in these tournaments
or any other tournament to be organized by Chess
Association of India in future as their events are not
recognized by All India Chess Federation and as such not
authorized by AICF. This is to further remind all AICF
registered players that you have signed a declaration in
the players registration form, which we quote for your
ready reference
“I also declare that I will not participate in any
unauthorized tournament / championship”
By playing in the tournaments conducted by Chess
Association of India, the registered players of AICF
will attract disciplinary action and hence are cautioned
against playing in the tournaments to be organized by
the rival body.
