– It is completely absurd. You can almost hear the Dane shaking his head over the phone line. The words come from chess coach and player Peter Heine Nielsen, who has just read the story about a cunning Kenyan and his slightly uncanny chess plan. IN ACTION: What seemed like a good plan for a long time ended up falling apart for this scam. Photo: Chess Kenya – It’s cheating. But it also has a comedic value. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone who has done something similar, he says to news. Dressed up Now you are perhaps curious about what this man has done and why Heine is reacting? The headline from the Nation website. Africa perhaps explains most: “What’s next for the male chess player who was exposed after competing as a woman?” If some eyebrows are still raised, you get the whole story in brief here: During the Kenya Open Chess Championship in the capital Nairobi, a male player was revealed to have dressed as a woman during the tournament. In the photos that abound in the relevant, a person can be seen who is covered in a niqab and wearing glasses. Usually men and women play in their own class. MAJOR GAME: The man won against several top players by appointment, and was in the fight for the first prize of around 3,000 dollars, which corresponds to around 31,000 Norwegian kroner. Photo: Chess Kenya The only thing you see are parts of the face. The president of the Kenyan Chess Federation, Benard Wanjala, confirms the incident to news. Dagbladet has previously discussed the case in Norway. Usually men and women play in their own class. The top players in the women’s category in the tournament generally had a lower rating than the top players in the men’s category. The man, who according to reports is not a professional, beat both former national champion Gloria Jumba (1487) and top Ugandan player Ampaira Shakira (rated 1702). Some of the men’s players who took part have a rating of up to 2000. The first prize is around 3000 dollars, which corresponds to around 31,000 Norwegian kroner. – Deeply regrets And the plan seemed foolproof – right up until he wasn’t anymore. Because after the fourth round, where the player had won several impressive matches, judges sensed owls in the bog. They must have taken the person into a room and managed to reveal the man’s identity. It came after several suspicious observations, according to Wanjala. – He didn’t talk to anyone, he had covered himself up too much and he had put on dirty shoes that were more masculine than feminine, the chess president told news. In the end, the cunning man had to “overturn the king” and lie flat. – The reason was financial needs, but I deeply regret my actions and am ready to accept all consequences, he is said to have written in a letter news has obtained access to from the Kenyan president. – The case has been forwarded to the disciplinary committee for fair trial. A decision will be drawn afterwards, says Wanjala.
