By IANS News April 22, 2024 • 08:28 AM View: 702

All India Chess Federation: Despite paying Rs 40 lakh to all the Indian players who had played in the FIDE Candidates tournament, the All India Chess Federation (AICF) seems to have lost a great branding opportunity.

Interestingly, 17-year-old Indian Grandmaster D. Gukesh won the tournament to become the challenger for the world title held by Chinese Grandmaster Diren Ling in the Open category.

In the women's section of the Candidates tournament, Indian Grandmaster Koneru Humpy secured the second position.
