1 Overview

AICCF team leagues were introduced in 2016 based on a suggestion by Mamta Bisht.The first league was organized by Dr. Ambar Chatterjee and started on March 18,2016.

The original suggestion was to have teams set up based on ratings, so that each team hasplayers of similar rating, and winning teams would play in a higher bracket and losingteams in a lower bracket.

Currently, the league is organized as a 5-board team championship between four teams(Team A, B, C and D, with captains Rohan Saxena, Shyam Challappally, AnkurSingh and Umesh Nair). Each team consists of players of varying strength, with theteams having approximately same average rating and each board has players of approx-imately same ratings.1

As far as AICCF system is concerned, it consists of six double-round, 5-player teamtournaments (T002 or T007). See Section 3 for the details with current status.

It can also be considered as five 4-player, double round-robin tournaments (one for eachboard). See Section 4 for the details with current status.

This document serves as a report of the 2016-’17 league championship, with gamesannotated by the players. It is edited and typeset by Umesh Nair, and the analysis ofgames is by him unless otherwise stated.

1Throughout this document, the ratings at the start of the event, i.e., the ratings for February 2016,(both the old ratings and the new Glicko2 ratings) are used. Both the The players gain and loserating points throughout the event.

Classical theory suggested 8. . .Rb8, and 9BXc6+ NXc6 10 QXc6+ Nd7! gives morethan enough compensation for Black. Com-puter analysis showed 8. . .Be7 is stronger.

9 Bd3

9 BXc6+ NXc6 10 QXc6+ Bd7 11 Qf3 O-O12 O-O Ng4 gives Black a terrible attack forthe material.

After 15 Qe4, Black can continue with either15. . .Bd6 or 15. . .Rfe8! because 16 QXb4?Bf3! 17 g3 Rab8! and both 18 QXa5 and18 Qc3 will lead to checkmate by 18. . .Qh5while 18 Qh4 QXh4 19 gXh4 RXb8 with ahuge advantage to Black.

Black decided to continue the attack, eventhough 21. . .QXe3 22 fXe3 Rb8 is sufficientto win.

It will be a grave mistake to play 21. . . f4? 22Qd4! and Black doesn’t have any prospectsfor a strong attack.

D45e: Semi-slav: 5 e3

In a very aggressive middle game, Black had to give up the Queen for aRook and Knight, but the resulting position was very solid, and the game wasdrawn.

A22: English Opening: Anglo-Indian

A poor choice of opening landed White into serious trouble and costed a pawn.Satyajit skillfully exploited the advantage and won the endgame with precisemoves.

This move has more venom than 8. . .QXe29 BXe2 where White has a freer game. I sawthis rare line when Anil K. Anand played itagainst me in 12-EM-4282, in the pre-enginesera. Anil did get an upper hand in the game,and it is suicidal for me to repeat the samevariation here.

It is better to keep the rooks on the board forbetter drawing chances, but White doesn’thave a choice: 33 Rg1 Rh2+ followed by34. . . h5 and Black’s passed pawn is alreadyvery strong.

The resulting Knight ending with an outsidepassed pawn is much favorable for Black, andSatyajit shows excellent skill in exploitingthe advantage.
