Complaint
This online article referred to the Indian chess player Koneru Humpy as 鈥the World Rapid Chess champion鈥. 聽A reader pointed out that Ms Humpy had been the women鈥檚 world rapid chess champion in 2019, but no longer held that title at the time of publication.聽 The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the 麻豆社鈥檚 standards of accuracy
Outcome
The ECU agreed with the complainant that the reference was materially misleading, and that this should have been acknowledged at an earlier stage.聽 However, as the article had been revised before the complaint was raised with the ECU to make clear that Ms Humpy was a the 鈥渇ormer Women's World Rapid Chess champion鈥, it concluded that the issue of complaint had been resolved.
Resolved
