FIDE, or the world chess federation, on Tuesday stripped King Whisley Puso of the open Under-12 title in the Asian qualifier of the World Online Cadets and Youth Rapid Championships for alleged fair-play violation.
Tournament chief arbiter Marco Biagioli handed out the disqualification notice on the recommendation of their Fair Play Panel which based its findings from “results of elements, they deemed sufficient evidence to establish a cheating incident.”
Biagioli said the decision is final and can’t be appealed.
But National Chess Federation of the Philippines executive director Cliburn Orbe said Puso, just like the rest of the Filipino participants, followed the rules set by the FIDE.
