All India Chess Federation (AICF) plans to host more international tournaments in India to ensure its top players get enough world class competitions, its president Nitin Narang (left) said on Sunday.

Narang said since all the top players in the country cannot get the opportunity to play in every big tournament every year, the AICF will soon start its own international âSuper Tournament', though he did not divulge the details.
"It [Super Tournament] will have a reservation of a certain number of Indian players, while we will also be inviting overseas players to participate, thus allowing these players to get the same amount of exposure with less expenditure," said Narang.
