All India Chess Federation endorses election on February 9

The Hindu  

In the battle for one-upmanship against All India Chess Federation president Venketrama Raja, secretary Bharat Singh Chauhan evidently rode on 'majority support' in the crucial General Body meeting here, with the house endorsing every decision to his liking. It may be recalled that Raja’s supporters attended the GB meeting in Chennai on December 14 and those backing Chauhan reached the Central Council Meeting at Gurugram on December 22. On the matter of ‘forgery’ in the Utilization Certificate submitted to the Ministry with regard to the 2018 National sub-junior chess championship in Kolkata, complainant Grandmaster Dibyendu Barua and defendant International Master Atanu Lahiri presented their case. Now, an independent probe by a Kolkata judge should bring out the truth.” According to AICF joint secretary Naresh Sharma, “The house accepted Chauhan’s detailed response to the show-cause notice issued by Raja and treated the matter as closed.
