    ha, so stupid. just make them all wear uniforms if youre all that concerned about cheating. otherwise who fucking cares. do they also force women to wear skirts?

    for an intellectual contest, this just sounds silly.

      I can understand a dress code for chess because otherwise someone is going to use their clothing as a distraction.
