Grandmasters have accused FIDE of disregarding sexual discrimination by selecting a place that would require the competitors to wear hijabs. Meanwhile, FIDE's Commission for Women's Chess has urged participants to accept the hijab regulations in respect of "cultural differences."
American Grandmaster Susan Polgar, chairman of Fide's Commission for Women's Chess, has said the players need to respect 'cultural differences'.

“Someone should organize a competing women’s contest in a civilized country.”
Starting a superceding organization to FIDE would work too. Perfect time and reason to do so. No chessmatches in primitive, malicious, third world venues.
Exactly. BTTT!
That is a fair point.
Fine. I shoot people that make me wear a Hijab. That’s my culture.
and I am “The Dude”.
they need respect our culture
What about men chess players? Do they need to respect “cultural differences”.

Get circumcised, maybe? Not even communist nations or the Third Reich were as obnoxious with such events as these Moslem midden heaps.
Sounds pretty stupid.
They need to focus on chess, not “cultural differences”, whatever that may mean.
It will be ironic that the women chess players have the balls that the men chess players and their silly organization do not.
ESAD Susan Polgar. You been playing goat for the islam humpers?
Yes, respect cultural differences!
Let each player wear what they would wear in their own culture.
Respect ALL cultural differences!
We have to respect their barbarism, but they are free to ignore the norms of the societies they are being turned lose in/on?
That's not the way I learned it.
Respect this you muzzle scumballs.

Susan...you ignorant slut.
Boy, two groups that can make feminism disappear in a puff of smoke: Blacks and Muslims.
No, they don’t. If some scumbag is afraid to play a woman who isn’t covered in a bag, he can forefiet.
/a Gramd Mastrer chess player (well, I used to be)
Forefeit*
Grand* (sigh, my fingers are too big for my old iPhone).
Sure the do... But in the reverse of this idiots intent...
The women should not have to wear hijabs
SO....why so many Muslims in Western countries insist on following 14 centuries old dress codes for women from the middle-east? Why the Muslims disrespect Western traditions and culture?
