Halder chess academy

Tirunelveli District Chess Development Association: In a blatant violation of Competition Commission of India’s (CCI) order against the All India Chess Federation (AICF), the Sara Bangla Daba Sangstha (SBDS) has publicly announced that players should not play in tournaments not recognised by it.

In a notice on its website SBDS has categorically declared: “It should be remembered that players should take part only in tournaments which are approved and recognised by Sara Bangla Daba Sangstha.”

The SBDS is trying to sabotage the rapid tournament organised by Bhogirath Halder, a chess coach and father of Commonwealth Under 16 Gold Medalist Sneha Halder on 16.6.2024 in Kolkata.
