The All India Chess Federation: The All India Chess Federation (AICF) is embarking on a historic journey to propel Indian chess to unprecedented heights.

Over the past three years, the Indian chess landscape has undergone a massive reform, evident in its epitome of success on all fronts – from over-the-board play to the seamless organization of tournaments.

The recent successful hosting of the Chess Olympiad at Chennai made history, further solidifying India's presence on the world stage. A handful of Indian players, inspired by the legacy of the legendary Viswanathan Anand, are carrying the torch forward, contributing to the nation's rising prominence in international chess.
