Kenya: A shocking case has come to light in Kenya. Here a trickster chess player has made headlines because of his exploits. In fact, an open chess championship was organized in Kenya, in which a university boy disguised himself as a woman and participated in the competition wearing a burqa. In this competition, the prize money was kept at Rs 34 lakh. The boy hatched this conspiracy out of greed for money.
According to the report of SBS News, the name of the young man is Stanley Omondi, whose age is 25 years. Interestingly, Stanley did not utter a single word during the game, due to which no one came to know about his being a boy and he entered the fourth round winning. The trickster boy had registered himself in the chess tournament as Millicent Avor.
Such a doubt
When Chess Kenya President Bernard Vanjala was asked about this, he said that in the beginning we did not have any doubt because wearing a burqa is common here. When his shoes were seen, they were masculine shoes. Since then there was doubt on him. At the same time, we also saw that he was not talking. Even when he came to collect his tag, he was not speaking. After considering these things, we examined him and found that he is a boy. He was participating in the competition by posing as a girl in Burqa, which was busted in time.
