This time FIDE imposed sanctions which amounted to a couple months ban and a good behaviour bond. <br/><br/>- intervened when a privately run tournament wanted Israeli players to participate without using their national flag. The event in the Basque region comes in the wake of protests against the Israeli cycling team in the Vuelta. <br/><br/>So the governing body of chess is showing itself to be: Anti-trans, anti-women, anti-LGBT+, pro-Russian, pro-Israeli, and therefore, pro-genocide.<br/><br/>Shit!!!!<br/><br/>#chess #transrightsarehumanrights #israel #Gaza #genocide #womensrights 2025-09-09T06:04:17Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsra52dxk8afy6v52mwj46223gw95tgyycr7dhk350s9tcztw7dengzyz6nm8xjk5elsj689q0vhmglhctcfmsaykz20z3j0kaq086w3dun232le8x Blimey.
