Secretary D. V. Sunder All India Chess Federation. These has been followed since very long back. After over throwing Koya as Honorable Secretary and may be CEO of AICF in 2005, This Executive body which has come unopposed on June 20 2008. During this four years this Ex. Body has accumulated surplus of Rs.90 lacs. In these four years 30X4 children between 8 to 15 represented India as official entries at International tournament. There are many more donor entries representing India for International tournament. Many of these children have won medals for India. None of these get any training facility through AICF. It was said in Coaching program circular that 10 children from each of the 35 Association will be given special training. It was also announced “Big Boost” on March 27 that (19 coaches which include 4 GM’s) has applied for coaching these children. Where is that Big boost? It is more than six months from the issue of Coaching program circular by All India Chess Federation. No posting about Coaching program schedule on AICF web site till date. That remuneration circular is harm full for progress of CHESS in India. That is the only reason why I am targeting that circular. I am doing this from the day it came to my notice may be on January 20 2008. [Appeal to Our Senior Players / IMS' / WIM's / GM's / WGM's / FM's and coaches AICF proposes to short list the names of coaches who are interested to coach our players and prepare them for National and International tournaments. Those interested are requested to send a mail to AICF with their Bio-data and achievements in coaching if any. The AICF shall pay Rs.10,000/- for GM's and RS.7,000/- or Rs 5000/- for others for a ten day coaching programme. For outstation coaches AICF will reimburse, on production of tickets, third A/c train fare and shall take care of the local hospitality. Those interested may kindly send your mail immediately.] My reservation were quoting those amount figure [The AICF shall pay Rs.10,000/- for GM's and RS.7,000/- or Rs 5000/- for others for a ten day coaching programme.] in that circular . When peanuts are offered how one can expect good coaches to come forward! Parents and children are not suffering! With Rs.90 lacs in kitty…what is the use? Coaching Program is total failure and I have also received Life Ban. Circular may go some day but my life ban on me will remain…as per your understanding of situation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feb 26 2008 Notice received through email from Goa State Chess Association was on my posting in Yahoo Q/A. May 19 2008 Show Cause Notice received from AICF was on misquoting income of AICF on Gomantak Times. Which said that “suspension pending enquiry”.
