Muslim controversy at WOMEN'S World Chess Championship

Text Drivers are Killers

Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
Most people don't even know that women have their own chess league, but they insist on it , because they know they can't compete with the men.

oct 6 2016 After years of playing with pawns and bishops, the reigning queen of US chess finds herself in the biggest stalemate of her career.

Nazi Paikidze, 22, shook up the chess world over the weekend when the US women’s champion announced she’s boycotting the Women’s World Chess Championship in Iran in February instead of complying with the country’s law that women cover up with a hijab. The Russian-born star, who now lives in Las Vegas, told The Post she won’t budge unless FIDE — the world chess federation — moves the competition to a “no-conflict” zone or makes wearing the hijab optional.
 
Weird that this young american lady's first name is "Nazi" !!! She was born in russia but i can't believe the name is common there either.
 
a) I confess my own bias from the United States of America.
On that Constitutional basis I support the right of any individual to exercise their own religious preferences, within the bounds of Liberty. BUT !!

b) I have never known of a "right" to impose religious preferences on others.

If THEY want to cover their heads, FABULOUS!
They have no right to require non-Muslims to do so.

I support the motion. Move the event to a less confrontational venue.
 
huh. normally women and men are not mixed in sports due to body stuff.... Im curious to know why they would not be mixed in chess. If ever there was something to have no gender division that would be it.

Maybe just a matter of convention---it's the way they've always done it?. I don't know lol.

When you talk about the super-smart, it's 99% men. That's why men run the world. It is not due to some giant conspiracy like the media tells us.

personally ive never given much credence to wage gap. The one thing corporations are good at is being soulless machines at the right times. If there were truly a wage gap corporations would be staffed with nothing but females as they chase the biggest bottom line.
 
Traditionally, women had to have separate organisations because they were not allowed to compete with men, in case they won, which would be contrary to 'Nature'! :)

for many years women did not play pro chess, chess is a very old game and in Victorian times it would be unseemly.

But it is true men are generally better players. That's changing somewhat ( fora lotofreasons) but the very best players are still men
 
the earliest predecessor of the game probably originated in India, before the 6th century AD;
a minority of historians believe the game originated in China.
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.

HUH???? You stupid lying jackass. Women are perfectly free to compete with men in the World Chess Championship. They CHOOSE not to. There is no giant conspiracy to keep them out so stop lying.

FAct is the best of everything is male. No woman has won a nobel in physics in 50 years!! 99% of super smart people are men and this has been noticed throughout all of history. Nearly all geniuses are men.

in chess the speculation is men are better with time and space visualization. Women tend to be better at verbals.

it could be that men's chess is more funded/ traditional interests..

I do know.....

Yes indeed - men can learn tech skills and that's why they run the world. Women are better with words and are best suited for silly jobs like english teacher or social worker

crap like this is much worse than anything Trump says about women. Trump is sexualizing behind closed doors -
