I-Fédération Internationale des Échecs (i-FIDE), inhlangano yomhlaba ye-chess, igxekwe ngabadlali besifazane bezemidlalo ngesivumelwano esichazwe njenge “sibi” futhi “esingabacabangeli abesifazane”.

Umdlali we-chess wesifazane ukhulume obala ngokuphikisana kwakhe noxhaso. “I-FIDE ayinayo umlando oqinile ekugqugquzeleni abesifazane, futhi ngikubona kwehlisa isithunzi ukuthi umdlalo ofana nowe-chess, odinga ingqondo kangaka, uxhaswa yinkampani ezuza ngokungazithembi kwabesifazane.
“Ngiyakungabaza kakhulu ukuthi i-FIDE izoletha inkampani ekhulisa induku yamadoda ukuthi ixhase i-World Championship yamadoda,” utshele i-Guardian.

Omunye umdlali we-chess wesifazane ongaziwa utshele i-Lichess, oyi-server ye-chess ku-inthanethi ukuthi, “Ngibone amahlaya ekhomba amagama abadlali abathile abasezingeni eliphezulu njengalabo abangathuthukiswa yilo mdlalo. I-Chess ibinenkinga yobandlululo ngokobulili esikhathini esedlule, futhi lokhu akukaze kwenze lutho ukuvimbela lokho”.
Abadlali abahlukahlukene besifazane bakhulume ne-Lichess ngokungadaduli amagama abo, ngenxa yokwesaba ukuthi bazojeziswa yi-FIDE, abathembele kuyo ekubamemeni emidlalweni nasemiqhudelwaneni.
Iphendula ngokuhlukumezeka, i-FIDE itshele i-The Guardian ukuthi ayikhuthazi i-plastic surgery, futhi kuyisinqumo sabantu abadala ukusebenzisa inkampani yokukhulisa amabele abayithandayo.
