Ukraine chess champion ready for praise and blame over Saudi boycott

DECEMBER 27, 2017

LVIV, Ukraine (Reuters) - Ukrainian chess champion Anna Muzychuk is ready for both praise and blame for boycotting this week’s world speed chess championship in Saudi Arabia - something which means she will lose two world titles and pass up substantial earnings.

The 27-year-old Muzychuk is refusing to defend her titles in rapid and blitz chess in Riyadh in protest at the host country’s record on women’s rights.

Rules governing women’s status meant she would have been made to feel “a secondary creature”, she said in a Facebook post.

Fine with me, besides, Israeli players are not welcomed at this chess tournament.

Yeah. It is about time normal modern man stops pandering to these 7th century savages and their anachronistic primitive and incredibly sexist/racist 'laws'.

RIV, insults in German are still insults.  Cut it out.

Why don’t you try clarifying your point instead of going potty mouth in German?  Better yet, ask the moderators to move the post to World news.

I didn't know there was a World News. Of course that's where it belongs but I thought they got rid of it once EC left.

Where is World News? I can't find it.

No worries. It’s still there, just below National News on the main page.  The moderators will move it for you if you hit the “report” link and ask for it to be moved.

Not on my browser. There is no World News on my display. I'm going to do a search.

This is getting super weird. I'm using Chrome. I'm going to open FireFox and see if there is a difference.

WoW! Yes, I see it in FireFox, but it does not appear in Chrome. How bizarre?

OK? I guess? I'm going to FF from now on.

I guess Chrome isn't displaying right or something? This is all really very confusing?

@Mod1


I figured it out. For some reason my user name has been disallowed from seeing World News. I'm on some kind of Moderator list.


When I log out of the forum I can see it. When I login, it disappears. That means that 240B is not allowed to see the  World News category. The same way that people who are not members cannot see the Members Only category.


MODs please correct this. Thank you.
