The 20-year-old Priyanka (ELO rating 2326) was found to have a pair of ear buds — a banned item in chess tournaments — in her jacket during a routine check. “While there is no indication of foul play on her part, earbuds are strictly forbidden at the playing hall. Carrying these devices during a game is a violation of fair-play policies, and it is penalised with the loss of the game and expulsion from the tournament,” FIDE said.
