The Taliban is suspended in Afghanistan’s chess on gambling problems

The Taliban government in Afghanistan has banned the chess to another warning due to fears of the gambling of the game.

Authorities said the game was indefinitely banned until the Islamic law could be determined.

Chess is the latest sport to be restricted by the Taliban. Women are generally prohibited from participating in sports.

Since the power seizures August 2021The Taliban continued the laws and regulations that reflect the harsh images of Islamic laws.

On Sunday, the Taliban Government Sports Administration spokesman Atal Mashwani, Islamic Sharid Directorate is a chess “gambling vehicle account”.

“There are religious considerations for chess sports,” AFP news agency said.

“From these considerations, chess sports have been suspended in Afghanistan.”

In recent years, a cafe owner in Kabul, who hosted informal chess competitions, said he would respect the decision, but would hurt his work.

“Young people do not have a large number of activities these days, so many things came here,” Azizullah Gulza said.

“They will drink a cup of tea and challenge their friends to the game of chess.”

He also noted that chess plays in most Muslims in most countries.

Last year, the government, like Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), banned the free struggle in professional competition, “Severe” and “problematic in relation to Sharius”, a free struggle in professional competition.

“The sport was found to be problematic in the law and has many aspects that contradict Islam’s teachings” a Taliban spokesman said it was the last August.

MMA races are effectively illegal when the Taliban applies legislation forbidden to “face-fist”.
