Chess World - F.I.D.E. Has Screwed Up AGAIN Bigtime - Holding Tournaments Where Women are Forced to Wear Hijab

The old, former arguments that the great U.S. Chess Champion Bobby Fischer had with F.I.D.E. pale in comparison to modern issues and arguments with F.I.D.E., (Federation Internationale des Echecs, known as FIDE from its French acronym) the World Chess Federation.

In the event it is/was an FIDE decision to select Iran for the next world championship it looks like a great big mistake! Iran's hijab dress code laws will be enforced at the tournament and the reigning U.S. top female player, Nazi Paikidze, has emphatically stated that she would rather sacrifice her career than be forced to wear a hijab.

What in the hell ever decided FIDE to hold a tournament in such a restrictive location and environment? Was this some kind of desperate move pushed on them by Islamics? Were they paid off to do this??? Disappointing that the great player, Susan Polgar, has not supported Paikidze totally.

FIDE forcing people to bow to a religious demand?

Anyway, this lady must have a tremendous game to be the top-ranked female player! Anyone who thinks chess is just a silly board game needs to get a grip and look at it again. It's a mindboggling labyrinth of calculations!!!!

Good Luck, Nazi Paikidze!
