12-Year-Old 'Humiliated' By Chess Tournament Officials Over ‘Seductive’ Dress

A chess coach in Malaysia is demanding an apology after his 12-year-old student was forced to withdraw from a chess tournament after officials deemed her dress too “seductive.”

Without revealing the minor’s name, Kaushal Khandhar, the girl’s chess coach, detailed on Facebook the “disturbing incident” that took place mid-April during the 2017 National Scholastic Chess Championships in Putrajaya, Malaysia. He included a photo of the girl’s so-called inappropriate dress, which appears to reach near the knee and cover both shoulders.
