The All India Chess Federation (AICF) in its Annual General meeting finally announced that Maharashtra Chess Association will be back as governing body along with Rajasthan Chess Association after both sorted out conflicts with their respective rival bodies.

Earlier, a protracted legal dispute over the Pune-based Maharashtra Chess Association (MCA)s disaffiliation by the All India Chess Federation (AICF) in 2016 finally came to a conclusion after a five-member panel in a Special General Body Meeting (SGM), decided to restore the affiliation of MCA along with Rajasthan Chess Association.

The dispute had originally stemmed from a factional tussle within the MCA, which was registered as a society in 1975 by way of amalgamation of the then five regional chess bodies in the state. The association was then granted affiliation by the AICF in 1978.

Much later, in 2012, the AICF had asked all its affiliates to amend their bye-laws and be in line with one nation, one federation norm. However, the tussle within MCA factions resulted in the delay in the completion of the entire process. At that time, the association had approved the amendments but they were pending approval from the office of the charity commissioner.

In December 2016, the AICF disaffiliated the MCA for not amending their bye-laws in time and granted affiliation to a parallel body in the state, thus setting off the legal dispute. Almost four years later, under the guidance of former president Ashok Jain, the MCA has been able to restore not only their affiliation but also their pride.

Meanwhile, AICF has decided to bid for the next edition of Olympiad along with announcing the start of a high-profile Indian Chess League later this year. We want India to become the chess destination of the world. We have drawn out a detailed plan to achieve the goal, said newly-elected AICF President Sanjay Kapoor.

TheFIDE Online World Corporate Chess Championshipwill be held February 19-21, 2021. The first edition of the championship has big names such as GMsMagnus Carlsen, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Vladislav Artemiev, and Anish Giri among the participants.

The inaugural edition of the FIDE Online World Corporate Chess Championship,an online team competition for companies, has a surprisingly large and strong turnout. With a total of 284 teams from 78 different countries registered, the event will bring together 1,467 players.

The list of participating companies includes giants like Amazon, Samsung, Ford, Microsoft, Gazprom, Facebook, Siemens, Dell Technologies, Bosch, Airbus, IBM, Boeing, Sony, Intel, ArcelorMittal, Equinor, HP, Twitter, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Vodafone, Sberbank, American Express, Deutsche Bank, UBS, Oracle, Credit Suisse, and Airbnb.

The line-ups of the teams are fairly impressive as well. Especially nice is the participation of the world champion, who represents the company Kindred, the online gambling operator of e.g. Unibet that has been sponsoring Carlsen since early 2020. Giri is logically playing for Optiver, a Dutch trading firm that has supported him during the past five years of his career.

Other top players are playing by invitation as companies were allowed to have one invited player for the event. In total, 204 titled players will take part in the competition, including 36 grandmasters.

Top 10 participants

There are also some top executives playing for their teams, like Bernhard Spalt, CEO of Erste Group Bank, and Tomislav Topic, who is the CEO of the telecom company Telconet in Ecuador.

However, the strongest executive is the two-time French champion and former top player GM Joel Lautier, a member of the Supervisory Board of Sovcombank, who will make a temporary comeback to play in the championship.

Each team consists of four players, including at least one male player and at least one female player. In each team, only one player can have a standard rating higher than 2500 in the FIDE rating list for November 2020.

Registered teams are divided into two pools (East & West) of approximately equal strength and of close time zones. Pool matches are played on February 19 and 20. Qualified teams enter the playoff phase, played on February 21.

The Eastern pool matches begin at 7 a.m. Pacific (16:00 CET). The Western pool matches begin at 5:30 p.m. Pacific (2:30 a.m. the next day CET).The time control is 10 minutes plus a 2-second increment for the whole game.

There was no entry fee of any kind for this competition. However, FIDE is organizing a fund-raiser in cooperation with the platform Softgiving , and participating companies are encouraged to donate towards one of three social projects currently being developed by FIDE: Chess in Education programs for underprivileged children, Chess for people with Disabilities, and the FIDE veterans support program. If you also want to contribute, you can do it through this link:

https://give.softgiving.com/FIDE

All donations received through this link will count towards the leaderboard offered by Softgiving. The most generous donors will appear on top of the leaderboard (donation amounts won't be revealed).

At the end of the event, the team that has donated the most funds for those charity causes will be invited to the FIDE World Championship Match 2021, taking place at Dubai World Expo in late 2021, with accommodation expenses covered for three nights and VIP tickets to attend three rounds of the match.

Update Feb. 17, 2021: An earlier version of this article erroneously stated that GM Johan Hellsten is the CEO of Telconet.

Carlsen To Play In FIDE Online World Corporate Chess Championship - Chess.com

The game of chess has captivated virtually everyone on the planet, even during the reign of kings and queens, who fought real battles; this game has continued to rapture its players. Such is the impact of this board game on generations after generations that chess has not lost its charm even a single bit all these centuries (the game has gained exponential popularity since the airing of Queens Gambit on Netflix). The mere idea of designing a chess set is the creative canvas for designers to explore and experiment with after all, when form meets function, theres an elevated level of gameplay that the two opponents experience when moving chess pieces in a bid to defeat the other.

For such a long time now, the chess pieces shape has seen countless iterations influenced by the ethnic culture or the pure imagination of creative minds. Among the sea of chessboards and chess pieces out there, industrial designer Andrea Tortone brings a very modern design aesthetic to chess while retaining the traditional representations of the game in its purest form. Dubbed the Neo aluminum chessboard, it is crafted out of a single aluminum metal tube, cut into intricate chess pieces that fuse refreshing modern take with the yesteryears essence.

Each of the chessmen results from thoughtfully selecting the traits drawing inspiration from the famous shapes, sizes, and icons of the European middle ages. So youll be able to trace the influence of a helmet in the pawn, mitre in the bishop, and merlon in the rook piece. The designer has a unique take by packaging these pieces inside a well-polished case, the top of which doubles as the chessboard itself. It has to be said, Andrea has infused a modern element into the strategy board game without going overboard.
