Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk
refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says:
“In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back-to-back. Because I decided
not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to
be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second-class
person.
"I will follow my principles and not compete in the World Fast Chess and
Blitz Championship where in just 5 days I could have won more money than dozens
of other tournaments combined. This is all very nasty, but the sad part is no
one seems to care. Bitter feelings but can't go back. "
