Lawyer: Chess girl’s picture doctored


KUALA LUMPUR: The photo of a girl who withdrew from a chess tournament over a dress dispute that was posted on Facebook was doctored, claims a lawyer.

Mohd Harris Abdullah, who is representing the National Scholastic Chess Championship director Sophian A. Yusuf, said he had evidence that the length of the girl’s dress was above knee level, which is against the dress code of the school where the tournament was held.
