It happens in Magic and inevitably the person gets caught cheating again, wouldn’t surprise me if the same thing happened here.

                    • FIDE banned/severely restricted trans women from competing in order to encourage more women participants.

                      Also FIDE: fined a woman 100 Euros for her casual shoes while letting several male players off for wearing sneakers.

                        The guy who runs FIDE is a former Putin crony who I'm sure is MAGAt-level misogynistic. The Russians still have outsized influence in chess, as the Russian orthodox have influence on politics* and are particularly Neanderthal on LGBTQ.

                        * International chess is nothing but politics. It makes the Olympics look like the spirit of pure competition.

                            This is so true. Say what you want about Bobby Fischer's insanity, but he was dead right about the Russian's political maneuvers in FIDE. Garry Kasparov would also agree.

                            • For the first time in more than fifty years of playing, I am a 1700 player.

                              I read an interesting stat: the average age of the top 10 players in the world ten years ago was 31. Today it is 27.
