The MSO is announcing the disqualification of Bianca Andrade Sandoval from all MSO tournaments in the 2024 Grand Prix. This player competed in Chess, Draughts and Abstract tournaments on PlayStrategy under the user @BlankaPlays

This player has failed a proof of identity check and the MSO have confidence that the user behind the BlankaPlays account was not the named Bianca Andrade Sandoval. There were also further discrepancies in their gameplay and behaviour that led to cause for concern and the decision to issue a full disqualification.

The repercussions for the tournaments that this player competed in are that this user is simply removed from the final results and all players who were below them shuffle up one position. This also effects the medals in the same way. There is no recalculation of results based on who faced this opponent and what the result of individual games were.

We will be processing the updated results of tournament affected throughout this evening.
