I guess they think having a cock gives you an unfair advantage in chess.

Whatever happened to "I get my kicks above the waistline sunshine" ?

I can sort of understand that there may be issues in sports where physical strength or endurance is a factor, but chess?? (how heavy are the pieces??)

This bit from the link would seem to make that ‘ban’ a moot point:
