Comment: It is good to see a 10 year ban on the person
who has followed a shortcut method to success. It is suggested that cell phones or any electronic /communication devices being used by Chess players may be collected by the Arbiter /Asst Arbiter and the same may be returned to them after their games are over. Perhaps a counter can be opened for this purpose making the tournament hall a secure place for fair play.
Cell phone call details could reveal a lot and speak for itself for their innocence or otherwise. Postmortem on the call details and routine activity matching the play schedules may be traced and questioned. In the light of serious allegations DP Singh should come forward and submit his Cell phone call details/Bills voluntarily to prove his innocence !? K.Murugan NLC

Comment: I am from Delhi. Thanks to CPAI for publishing my comment on doping test. I hope CPAI and its members will continue checking in all forthcoming games National or international played in India.

Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between
devices such as mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers, digital cameras
and video game consoles via a secure, globally unlicensed short-range
radio frequency.
Bluetooth device can also communicate with up to 7 devices if setting
is done in it.

Its unbelievable a player with 2489 rating keeps bluetooth device with head phones in his cap and mobile phone in his bag! Thus,AICF,CPAI &FIDE must understand the need of checking.
I have heard in one international tournament a world chess champion
went to bathroom after each move and more than 50 times in bathroom!!!
Checking MUST be strictly done.

Comment: I congrats the team of CPAI to have an option for this of comment section. As a member of chess loving fraternity I personally feel that the bigger fish is behind the screen. I also stress upon the need of punishing Umakanth.
Truth will come out ie the bigger fish must come out (if there is god)

Comment: Such atrocities should be considered as a criminal offence. May be not by law as of now; but at least on moral grounds. Such cheats have already stolen away the prize money which right fully belonged to others.

Comment: see to it that this case does not go long n long without appropriate punishment to the culprit.............so that others players think twice before doing any type of cheating

Comment: I would like to congratulate the team (the players, arbiters etc.) who unearthed the scandal involving UmaKant Sharma. Of course we are also aware that a bigger fish, D.P. Singh has escaped similar fate.
I feel now the CPAI should take up the matter with AICF and openly ask for both the players to be debarred based on analysis of their games. A lot of players career and prizes have been affected by these two cheats.
Let the AICF take its own decision, but we should make our stance clear in this issue!

Comment: I am from Delhi and very happy to see that CPAI allows to write view without any registration, though i am a AICF registered player.
I want to share my views:
1)It is  very bad to see a candidate getting a  full score of 1 if the other opponent is absent. I have seen this in this current ongoing Air Force chess competition.
2) Doping Test must be held rather than protest as written in your article.
Rated Players are treated as if they have got so much potential which is not true.
I am sure 90-95% of the the players you worship will be caught in it, May be some of your student.
I seeing  few other things adding to this which I have not written ,think of not playing chess tournament.

Comment for article: Umakant found with bluetooth
Name: CPAI

Comment: Dear Sir,
I am participating in the ongoing Subroto Memorial Chess tournament in delhi and its really shocking to know that the players are using electronic devices for winning the matches.
But in your article you are forgotten to give the due credit to Indian Air Force for their bold decision to make a check on players first time in India and that energetic arbiter who conducted the search activity with precision because if they wished they can easily cover up the matter to avoid the embarrassment for their tournament
As a chess player I salute Indian Air Force and the Arbiter.

Comment for article: Dope testing in chess
Name: Alex

Comment: hello everybody, I was surprised to see anand and kunte's comments about dope testing in chess. personally I feel dope testing is necessary in chess. There are many type of drugs which are capable of enhancing one's mood, lengthening one's concentration, helping a player to remain calm in tense positions, giving excessive physical energy and so on. I have seen a few Indian players using these shortcut methods. (of course, in the longrun these drugs will have adverse effect on the consumer himself.) but in general, dope testing will certainly help honest players.
It is the duty of the fide to first publish the list of banned drugs and only then start dope testing. I hope anand and kunte will agree with me.

Comment: Instead of protest Dope Testing , you convince properly to concern authorities through proper top experienced players like Kasparov, Karpov, Anand, Adams, Leko, Topalov. e.g. Instead of "NO SMOKING" you write "CLEAN ZONE" everybody automatically follows that discipline. I think firstly you follow the rules and discipline and full concentrate on Chess only. Please remember that "PLAY AND DISCIPLINE IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT"

Comment: This years coomonwealth chess championship 2006 failed to attract the required foreign players bcz of that Indian players did not get norms. This tournament is a wastage of money. It became similar to the Koya\\\"s tourney at Pune two years ago. Chess Players are not fools
