        Wouldn’t doubt it. The girl would be accused of cheating somehow.

        What? They have an ancient history of horse racing...but chess promotes gambling more? They have a growing car racing culture also. Seems more like they are worried about people utilizing their minds. Harder to control.

        I don’t get the point of this? ABC is now pimping for Saudis Arabia? A country that treats women as 2nd class citizens? Explain please
