☆ The Winding Climb to Play in the World Chess Championship
  + stars: | 2024-02-05 | by ( Dylan Loeb Mcclain | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The Candidates Tournament to select a challenger for the World Chess Championship will be held in April in Toronto. The ensuing chaos led to criticism of the International Chess Federation, the game’s governing body, also known as FIDE. Six of the eight players in the Candidates Tournament were decided before December, leaving two places up for grabs and five players vying for them. One spot was for the player with the highest rating on FIDE’s list on Jan. 1 who had not already qualified. In an attempt to secure the remaining slots, some players entered last-minute or obscure tournaments that FIDE had not anticipated they would participate in.

☆ Hans Niemann: Chess grandmaster ‘categorically’ denies using vibrating sex toys to cheat in the sport

When he was pressed by Morgan if he had used such toys “while playing chess,” Niemann replied: “Well, your curiosity is a bit concerning, you know - maybe you’re personally interested, but I can tell you, no. The accusations of cheating aimed at Niemann evolved into a scandal which gripped the world of chess over the last year. Niemann then filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against Chess.com, Carlsen and popular streamer and player Hikaru Nakamura. As a result, online chess sites, like Chess.com, have developed anti-cheating technology to detect when players are using outside computer software during games in an attempt to curb foul play. While FIDE is battling to combat online cheating, there has been a level of purity to over-the-board chess with cheating proving to be much more difficult.

☆ FIDE bans transgender women from competing in women’s chess events pending ‘further analysis’
  + stars: | 2023-08-17 | by ( Ben Church | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
In a meeting earlier this month, FIDE’s council approved the updated policy which will come into effect on August 21. The policy says that once a player informs FIDE they are changing their gender from male to female, they will be banned from competing in official women’s events. This is so insulting to cis women, to trans women, and to the game itself,” it wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “So FIDE just published (yesterday) a list of anti-trans regulations, like it was ‘the biggest threat of women in chess’. WA said the exclusion would apply to “male-to-female transgender athletes.”Advocates of banning transgender women from women’s sport have argued that transgender women have a physical advantage over cisgender women in sports.
