At the [Malaysian] National Scholastic Chess Championship 2017, which took place in Putrajaya recently, the girl was informed that what she wore was "improper and had violated the dress code" for the tournament.
[...] The girl's chess coach, Kaushal Khandhar, wrote on Facebook, "In the middle of Round 2, (without stopping the clocks) Chief Arbiter informs my student that the dress she wore was improper and violated the dress code of the tournament.
"It was later informed (by Chief Arbiter) to my student and her mother, that the Tournament Director deemed my student's dress to be 'seductive' and a 'temptation from a certain angle far, far away'."
[...] Kaushal said after discussions with the chief arbiter, the girl was allowed to compete, provided she bought a pair of slacks for the next day, but that decision came at 10pm and with the event at Putrajaya, there was no way the girl's mother could buy anything for the 9am start the next day.
"Before the morning round next day, my student's mother called the tournament director regarding this matter. Initially he had replied that he was not aware of the situation but after a brief discussion, we realised he knew all the details on this incident prior to this phone call.
"He promised to return the call upon discussion with the chief arbiter, but this did not happen. He would further not answer or return any calls by my student's mother", Kaushal wrote, adding that the situation led to the inevitable decision of withdrawal from the tournament altogether."
We should perhaps note here that Malaysia is majority-Muslim.

No you're a stupid shortsighted idiot who just outed yourself as a pedophile.
A 12 year old girl in sexy attire is a temptation to 12 year old boys at the tournament.
Think of the children from the perspective of another child, not from your own perspective as an aged pedophile.

Did you even see the dress? Would you call that "sexy"? Yea you could see the 12 year old girls knees....I doubt that the 12 year old boys were getting all that fired up about that.
I am guessing that a parent of one of the boys who was a weaker chess player decided to play the "sexy" card so that his kid would not be eliminated.
Only one shortsighted idiot I can see though....

Think back ... to when you were 12 ... and remember ... how easily aroused you were ... back then.
Nope. Too much mental exercise for you. Forget it. You're hopeless.

Her knees would be below the table, with the chessboards on top of the table.
How exactly is her competitor getting a view of what's under the table?
...and if were talking about people at other tables in the room, a tablecloth would solve the entire "problem".
Is this place so backward that they don't have those?
Like the AC who suggested that the parent of a less-gifted competitor might play the "too sexy" card, I'm thinking this was a ploy with no credence.
