She'll put her own daughter in a hijab

The best female chess players in the world have stated that they will boycott next year's World Championship in Iran, after being told they must wear a hijab if they wish to participate.
Many of these players have harshly criticized the World Chess Federation, after it was decided that the World Championship would take place specifically in Iran. The protests were mostly regarding the Iranian requirement that women cover their faces with a hijab during the chess competition.
American champions also expressed concern over whether the female participants would be safe in the Islamist country.
"It's really frustrating that I have to miss my first World Championship in several years, for unrelated reasons. It's unfathomable to host one of the most important women's contests in a place that until today forces women to cover their faces with a hijab. I understand and respect the cultural differences, but in this case, if I do not comply, I may end up in jail. Women's rights in Iran are severely limited, and it does not feel safe for women from all over the world to compete in Iran," said US chess champion Naasi Paykidosa.

Better yet, cancel the event.
Why do women and men have separate chess championships? I would think gender equality would apply here. Chess is a mental game; not even a justification to segregate by physical strength or size like football or other sports.
Less than a junior high football stadium near Boston filled to capacity could possibly care. GET A LIFE!!
What dumbass had the bright idea to stage the championship in a theocratic dictatorship, anyway? Why not give some Iranian chess masters a chance to defect, if for some inexplicable reason(sarc) they’re inclined to.
The top female player (based on FIDE ratings) in the world today wouldn't even be ranked among the top 100 male players.
Can’t have separate championships. My wife beats me up all the time. Can’t have her beat me at chess.
The 1936 Summer Olympics maybe.
The 1940 Olympics were to be held in Japan but were cancelled due to the war.
It’s not about chess. It’s about the ongoing global struggle to give these bastards the bitch-slapping down they so richly deserve, on the one hand, and keep from being conquered by them, on the other. Now it’s spilling over into chess. What next?
1936. My bad.
The head of the U.S. Chess Federation must resign or be fired.
moslem Iranian men are such filthy pigs, they can NOT be trusted to gaze upon a woman (even her ankles are too provocative) because it would provoke those scum-sucking savages to commit rape, mutilation, and murder; in accordance with the ‘prophet of allah’ (piss be upon him)and his teachings...
Go, Trump, GO!
There are separate mens and womens chess championships because otherwise we would have a unified ranking that would not include many women.
All we need to do is fight. They are.

“I understand and respect the cultural differences, but..”
That is PRECISELY why we are LOSING the civilizational struggle! Do THEY understand and respect WESTERN culture???? OF COURSE NOT! While we “tolerate” , they HATE!!!!!
Iran, huh?
Looks like you broads depended on Obama, Clinton, Kerry, Jarrett, Abedin, Clinton and Carter when you should have depended on Ronald Reagan, hero, Hollywood and otherwise.
The Shah and his son would have dressed you in Dior.
But then, Who Cares?
She should wear a hijab with a Victoria Secret underwear, nothing else.
Might be that Iranians claim fame for propogating chess to europe:
“From India, the game spread to Persia. When the Arabs conquered Persia, chess was taken up by the Muslim world and subsequently spread to Southern Europe. In Europe, chess evolved into roughly its current form in the 15th century.”
Looks like more money for the Iran for hostage deals.
