| Dec-19-08 | | praddy06: AICF to take action against Gopal
Grandmaster G.N. Gopal’s decision to skip the 46th National ‘A’ chess championship, which got under way at the Karnataka Bank Auditorium here on Wednesday, could prove costly. The All India Chess Federation (AICF) is planning to take disciplinary against the player http://www.hindu.com/2008/12/18/sto... |
|
| Dec-19-08 | | pawn to QB4: <no player could stay out of the National ‘A’ championship without taking permission from the AICF. “And no Indian player can play in any tournament abroad without the AICF’s permission either> must say that makes an odd read to me. I can see where they're coming from if he'd agreed to play and now they're a player short; otherwise, sounds like there's a lot more instructing going on here than players normally endure since the Soviet Union went under. |
|
| Dec-19-08 | | praddy06: More about AICF when they were corrupt and iron-handed, dont care abt players like the current FIDE http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...

| Mar-13-09 | | shahjinan: http://reports.chessdom.com/news-20... Poor guy...Hope this ban should be removed from him.....soon. |
|
| Mar-13-09 | | jon01: <"National A championships are mandatory for all Indian players below 2650"> What a rule! The ban can only remove him from Indian championships. There's no law that he can't participate elsewhere in Fide tournaments. |

| Mar-15-09 | | timhortons: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...
They ban him for a year. Thats ridiculous.A reprimand is ok but to ban him is to much. |

| Mar-15-09 | | Andrijadj: This is so stupid...Why didn't they ban Vishy Anand???They know they are powerless against top player,so they choose to show they bureaucratic power on a 19-year old promising player...Pathetic... |

| Mar-15-09 | | praddy06: <This is so stupid...Why didn't they ban Vishy Anand???They know they are powerless against top player,so they choose to show they bureaucratic power on a 19-year old promising player...Pathetic...> Indian National A championships are mandatory for all Indian players rated below 2650. Anand, Sasikiran and Harikrishna are exempted from playing National A since all three are above the cutoff ratings The punishment is un-warranted since he has already told AICF before the schedule of National A that he will not be available... But AICF are complaining that one reserve player has lost a place in National A because Gopal did not notify in advance Whose version is correct will be hard to prove and there will not be a BAN...AICF is just trying to show its authority nothing more. |

| Mar-15-09 | | Dionyseus: Just heard about the ban, what a childish decision. |
|
| Mar-15-09 | | blacksburg: India has the potential to become a chess powerhouse. AICF seems to be trying to stop this from happening. this ban doesn't make any sense whatsoever. |

 | | Open Defence: to my knowlegde the AICF does not sponsor the players. So on what basis do they make participation in their National events mandatory ? What if a player falls ill ? Or just wants a break ? Or wants to play in a poker tournament instead ? Unless the AICF issue player contracts giving guarantees of fees, number of tournaments etc then this unilateral mandate is senseless and immoral I also think this could be challenged on the grounds of restraint of the right to earn livelihood if the ban extends to any other tournaments |

| May-10-12 | | shivasuri4: Gopal has struggled with the black pieces so far in the Asian Continental 2012, losing 2 games and drawing one, all against IMs in the rating bracket 2425 to 2495. With 2.5 points out of 5, today he plays GM Nguyen Anh Dung with white in round 6 on board 15. |
|
| May-11-12 | | shivasuri4: After 2 more draws, Gopal is now in the 38th position with 2 rounds to go. In the penultimate (8th) round, he plays Nguyen Huynh Minh Huy, a 2442 rated IM with white. A win now will reduce his losses from this tournament. |
|
| Aug-21-12 | | bharatiy: why is Gopal part of the national team for olympiad? Why not Ganguly or Adhiban or Sandipan there who are rated higher than him. Adhiban is yunger than him with similar rating, if age was consideration. In fact federation should have talked with Humpy and offered her place in Open team. |
