According to the Telegraph The world’s top female chess players have reacted with horror after being told they must compete at next year’s world championship wearing a hijab.

Within hours of Iran being revealed as its host country, the prestigious event was plunged into crisis as it emerged players taking part face arrest if they don’t cover up.

In response, Grandmasters lined up to say they would boycott the 64-player knock-out and accused the game’s scandal-hit governing body Fide of failing to stand up for women’s rights.




Nazi Paikidze, the US women’s champion, also raised concerns about players’ safety in the Islamic republic.

She said: “It is absolutely unacceptable to host one of the most important women’s tournaments in a venue where, to this day, women are forced to cover up with a hijab.

Good for her for refusing to wear the Muslim garbage bag!! Do you support Nazi Paikidze for refusing to wear the Muslim garbage bag??
