Law Question
hi. about a month ago, in Khazar cup in Northern Iran, an aebiter got suspicious of a pllayer and wanted to investigate he. She refused to take off her shoes (reportedly she was OK with investiging her scarf, etc) and she was removed from the tournament.
What's thhe rule? Can an arbiter appear over your head and investigate you? How should s/he behave in shuch cases?
Regards

"The arbiter may require the player to allow his clothes, bags, other items or body to be inspected, in private. The arbiter or person authorised by the arbiter shall inspect the player, and shall be of the same gender as the player. If a player refuses to cooperate with these obligations, the arbiter shall take measures in accordance with Article 12.9."
Article 12.9 includes expulsion from the tournament.

Mind, examining the soles of an Iranian's shoes is the equivalent of examining a Brit's underwear, am I right?

Re: law question
This rule was pointed out at the same time that event made a noisanse. but does it mean to ask in private or inspect in private? Does it mean the arbiter has to take measures in accordance with 12.9, like expelling them?Ian Thompson wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 9:30 pmFIDE Law 11.3.3 -soheil_hooshdaran wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 8:51 pmhi. about a month ago, in Khazar cup in Northern Iran, an aebiter got suspicious of a pllayer and wanted to investigate he.

What would make the arbiter suspicious?

In the context of the social norms of those who drafted the rule, it would be in private.soheil_hooshdaran wrote: ↑Fri Mar 23, 2018 5:44 am

If you found someone playing in a tournament who was tooled up with cheating devices, I don't think you would want them to continue.
Suspicious behaviour might include acting in a strange manner. It might also include consistently playing moves way above known playing strength.

Re: law question
If the player was adjusting her shoe a lot. If when she took her shoe off it stayed connected to her leg by a wire. If she was wearing a hearing aid or other earpiece.

"FIDE Law 11.3.3: The arbiter may require the player to allow his clothes, bags, other items or body to be inspected, in private"
To answer our Iranian friend, the strict rules of English grammar indicate that the existence of a comma after "inspected" means that "in private" relates to either "may require" or "to allow" but not to "to be inspected". However, common sense suggests that that was the intended meaning.

English has lots of strict rules. Occasionally, English speakers agree on what they are.Roger Lancaster wrote: ↑Fri Mar 23, 2018 4:31 pm"FIDE Law 11.3.3: The arbiter may require the player to allow his clothes, bags, other items or body to be inspected, in private"
