The ruling by the International Chess Federation is drawing criticism from some players.

The International Chess Federation (FIDE) says it is temporarily banning transgender women from competing in its women’s events.

The FIDE said individual cases would require “further analysis” and that a decision could take up to two years.

The move has been criticised by some players and enthusiasts.

Many sports governing bodies have been working on policies towards transgender athletes, but chess does not involve comparable levels of physical activity.

    Either you’re the type to understand that this issue is complex and requires some thought, or you think you already know everything.

    Just as there are people who think Donald Trump have all the answers, why do we expect everybody on the internet to be capable of rational thought?
