AICF’S REACTION ON NIKHIL KAMATH’S CHEATING :

The ALL INDIA CHESS FEDERATION (AICF), said that it is “unfortunate” to see unfair methods employed in a a charity chess game by Mr. Kamath against five time world champion Vishwanathan. Everyone termed it as the “bad” move by Kamath and it shouldn’t have happened. It was very much unfortunate that this happened in a charity match. No one expected anybody to get help from computers at a national and state level. Everyone should follow the protocols.

Checkmate Covid, chess.com simul raised over 10 lakh during the match for India.

After reports came to limelight, claiming that Kamath had been banned, then he revealed that he took help from computer and some other people to analyze the game. Then he had to apologize for his “silly” behavior. Aamir Khan, Riteish Deshmukh, Ananaya Birla, Yuzvendra Chahal and Manu Kumar Jain also played with Anand for charity to raise funds to combat covid-19 pandemic. While other players lost easily, Anand surprisingly lost to Kamath.

Even Vishy Anand tweeted Kamath’s statement and added he just played the position on the board and expected the same from everyone.
