Quick Glance: Chess Grandmaster Hans Niemann Denies Cheating with Vibrating Device
  • Hans Niemann was accused of cheating last year.

  • In September 2022, Hans Niemann played against Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen in chess's Sinquefield Cup in St. Louis, Missouri.

  • Niemann admitted to cheating twice in online matches on Chess.com but denied doing so in the Sinquefield Cup or any in-person game.

  • Last month, Chess.com stated that they stand by their report on Niemann, including the finding that there is no determinative evidence of cheating in in-person games.

Quick Glance: Transgender Women Excluded from Women's Chess Events
  • Many sports governing bodies are working on policies for transgender athletes, but chess does not require comparable levels of physical activity.

  • Yosha Iglesias, a transgender woman professional chess player holding the FIDE rank of chess master, stated that the policy would cause "unnecessary harm" to trans players and women.

  • UK MP Angela Eagle, joint winner of the 1976 British Girls' Under-18 chess championship, argued: "There is no physical advantage in chess unless you believe men are inherently more able to play than women - I spent my chess career being told women's brains were smaller than men's and we shouldn't even be playing."

  • FIDE also announced that trans men who had previously won women's titles would have their titles abolished.
