The International Chess Federation (FIDE) has updated its handbook to ban\u00a0trans-identifying males<\/a>\u00a0from competing in women\u2019s competitions.<\/p>\n

FIDE, the international governing body for the sport, provided\u00a0new guidelines<\/a>\u00a0to address transgender chess players and how it would handle titles such as Woman Grandmaster, Woman International Master, Woman FIDE Master, and Woman Candidate Master amid transgender players,\u00a0Mediaite<\/a>\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the event that the gender was changed from a male to a female the player has no right to participate in official FIDE events for women until further FIDE\u2019s decision is made,\u201d the rule read. \u201cSuch decision should be based on further analysis and shall be taken by the FIDE Council at the earliest possible time, but not longer than within 2 (two) years period.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTitles. If a player holds any of the women titles, but the gender has been changed to a man, the women titles are to be abolished,\u201d the guidelines added. \u201cThose can be renewed if the person changes the gender back to a woman and can prove the ownership of the respective FIDE ID that holds the title.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe abolished women title may be transferred into a general title of the same or lower level (e.g., Women\u2019s Grand Master may be transferred into FM, Women\u2019s International Master into Candidate Master, etc.),\u201d it continued, noting that there \u201care no restrictions to play in the open section for a person who has changed the gender.\u201d<\/p>\n
