Players cautioned over unauthorised tourneys
While the Chess Association Nagpur is committed to maintain the transparency in organisation of the chess events at Nagpur, it has been noticed that some individuals, organisers and institutions are organising un-recognised one day and weekend events without recognition of the Chess Association Nagpur so as to avoid any transparency in the organisation of the events.
In view of the above, the players and chess enthusiasts are cautioned and advised to check the recognition status of chess events before enrolling in such events.
