The International Chess Federation (FIDE), has become the latest sporting body to effectively ban transgender women from competing in women’s only categories, citing issues in current competitive regulations.

The tournament is taking place at the Saint Louis Chess Club, which is located right across the street from the World Chess Hall of Fame, at Maryland and Euclid.
