World Chess Championship Final Match: Questions are being raised about how the All-India Chess Federation had called and cancelled its Annual General Body Meeting (AGM) slated to be held on Friday evening at Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

“For the first time in AICF’s history an Annual General Body Meeting was called and cancelled for non-receipt audited accounts hours before the meeting to be held,” an official of a state chess association told IANS preferring anonymity.

One of the issues on the agenda of the meeting is to discuss and decide on hosting the World Chess Championship 2024 between Indian GM D.Gukesh and the reigning World Champion, Chinese GM Ding Liren.
