DCA President Bharat Singh Chauhan: An all-out internal war has broken out in the Delhi Chess Association (DCA) with the warring parties trading charges of financial irregularities, sexual harassment, absence of democracy, and others.

The warring parties are: the DCA President Bharat Singh Chauhan and nine other members on one side and the opposite side, consisting of secretary Ajeet Kumar Verma and treasurer Sandeep Singh.

In a sense, the DCA’s internal war could also be termed the silent war between the state association and the All India Chess Federation (AICF). The simmering war could even blow up into an open one.
