FIDE allows tournament directors to set dress codes. Wonder if she was put in a position where she was forced to withdraw - didn't give her time to actually comply.

One wonders about anyone finding a 12 year old seductive?? They all paedo's there or something - or is that what the journalist is trying to infer??

maybe things were somewhat 'lost in translation'.
English may not have been spoken well and a word which in literal translation to English meant 'seductive' was said, which was then taken out of context !
