Alon on Nostr: FIDE treated the Polgár sisters like shit in the 1980s and 90s, denying them credit ...
FIDE treated the Polgár sisters like shit in the 1980s and 90s, denying them credit because they mostly competed with men rather than in the women's tournament ghetto. When Judit got to play Kasparov in 1994, he violated the touch-move rule but the arbiter didn't challenge him, and this is how Judit, who up until that point was tied, lost the series. Right now there's a huge sexual harassment scandal at FIDE.
There are no TERFs. There are just transphobes, who also hate cis women.
