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.

Why don’t you bother someone that’s actually trying to say something wrong instead of wasting this persons time?

Clearly the person you’re responding to is not an enemy, so why drive other people away?

Unless you’re just a trolling loser, you are just hurting your own cause if you actually care
