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. "

—Anna Muzychuk

My opinion on that:

„Anna Muzychuk's unwavering commitment to her principles is truly admirable. Individuals like her, who are willing to take a stand against injustice even at great personal cost, are indeed heroes in my eyes. It's inspiring to see someone prioritize their values over material gain, setting an example for others to follow.“
