First, the Taliban regime closed the doors of education for Afghan girls and now banned chess.
Afghan people deserve the freedom to learn, think, question, and build their own future.

"Three of the four Afghans who left the country to play the Chess Olympiad are detained in Kabul and face uncertain fate. The players are under house arrest and face corporal punishment because the game has been banned by the Taliban government for religious reasons." english.elpais.com/sports/2026-09…
