The Chess Federation is affiliated to FIDE, the world body for chess. The Federation has now under its fold more than 30 affiliated state associations, 16 special members and 23 recognized academies as its constituents.
The AICF deserves accolades for their zealous efforts to promote the game in India. The Federation has played an active role in identifying new talents and ensuring quality competition in the domestic level. Such energetic organizing has paid rich dividends as India has made a name for producing precocious chess prodigies.
Besides the thriving national circuit, AICF has also played host to a number of major world events in India like the World Junior Championships, the Commonwealth Championships and Asian Team Championships.
