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'.

Guess it’s too much to ask the Iranians (or ANY Muslims) to respect “cultural differences?”
not quite.
the host country should show some respect for its honored guests
and if the guests wish to reciprocate, they can wear a regular shawl or hat, without needing to wear things that are specifically Moslem-identified garments
Tell Susan Polgar to go F herself.
Strange this coming from Susan who is or at least used to be Jewish.
How about respecting cultural differences by allowing differences instead of being intimidated into observing a difference that is not yours. Better yet insist any Muslim men in the presence of these woman be blindfolded or blinded - problem solved no woman subjected to their subjugation.
By requiring non-muslim women to wear a hijab, the Iranians are the ones not respecting cultural differences.
“Strange this coming from Susan who is or at least used to be Jewish.”
She makes a fine kapo.
That's not my experience. I was very close to my grandmother Sadie Stewart of Grand Blanc, (suburb of Flint) Michigan. Grandma Stewart marched for women's suffrage in Flint, a tough, factory town even in those days. James Bruce Stewart, her husband supported her, according to my mother.
The people I met who associated with the movement with Sadie were very sure of one thing, they all had fled places with "cultural differences" especially murdering people who "went to the wrong church." Sounds like the evil people who sell Scarlet Burkas to me!
Just my observation.
So Ms. Polgar feels that the Iranian hosts don’t need to respect cultural differences, just the participants. Not a surprise. Most fembots/Marxists give Moslems a pass on just about everything, while bending over backwards to appease them. If that strategy continues and the likes of Merkel and Hillary have their way, the barbarian Muzzies will have the Western world in checkmate in short order. It seems to be their wish, whether conscious or not.
Susan why should they? Do Muslims respect the Western World’s differences? When Muslims respect differences others have - including freedom of religion and wearing regular clothes (instead of a garbage bag) and no throwing gays off top of buildings - then maybe I’ll respect them.
Gang-raping young girls and then stoning them to death is “part of the culture”, which must be respected, right Susan?
Tell your slime hosts you and your girls want the full multicultural experience. They will leap to oblige, no doubt.
will they have to submit to virginity testing to get the visa?
what’s next?
Shouldn't the same be true of Iran?
So host it with whoever decides to show up. Nobody is preventing you from doing so, so stop whining. Leave those not wanting to bow to your demands stay away if they want.
So then no problem banning burkas
