This is to inform all chess players / organisers / officials
that any chess event organized under the banner of "Chess
Association of India" is not recognized by the All India Chess
Federation
a reminder of our earlier circular
CAUTION
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.
