Aicf joint secretary

The Ashok Hotel To The: With a complaint to the Central government alleging that the election process of the All India Chess Federation (AICF) does not align with the National Sports Development Code and the court orders, the Bengal Chess Association (BCA) seems to be playing the 'Bengal Gambit'.

On March 10, the general body of the AICF will be held in Delhi, where the results of the polls will be formally declared. There were 15 nominations for 15 posts in the AICF and the poll process ended in an agreed draw without a contest.

“March 10 will be a doomsday for Indian chess if the 15 people are declared as elected unanimously. The electoral roll itself violated the National Sports Development Code and the Delhi High Court order dated 16.8.2022,” International Master and former AICF Joint Secretary, Atanu Lahiri, told IANS.
