To curb the menace of sandbagging the rating points and to protect Fair Play, All India Chess Federation made the following decision, which will be in force with immediate effect.
“Players who finished first or second in any rating restricted tournament will not be eligible to play in any rating restricted tournament for one year from the date of such achievement”
All the Players, Organisers, Arbiters and State Associations please be guided by the above.
