He said, “There are religious views regarding Chase’s game .. Unless these ideas are noticed, Chase is banned in chase game in Afghanistan .. Afghanistan’s National Chess Federation has not organized any official program for almost two years.”

Last year, the Taliban banned free style fights like Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) in a professional competition, saying that it was very “violent” and “problematic” in relation to Sharia.
