meh,,wear a veil then
I see your point, but I believe for many Muslim men, the covering in public is also about reminding women that they are second class citizens. I agree 100% about people who don't belong to a religion not abiding by the 'rules' of same, but isn't the hijab a societal issue as well? Literally, or figuratively?
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
Whenever a female American reporter goes to a Muslim country, they cover their head out of respect. I would venture to say that in some countries, it would be considered a crime for a woman to appear in public without a head covering.
When anyone goes to shul, they must cover their head....no matter their religion. It's just taking this concept to the nth degree in Muslim countries.

A pleasant looking young woman. Why would anyone want to not see her face?

Leviticus 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the homeborn among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
professionals play all the time/study all the time -etc. no matter where they are from.
Eastern Europe and Russia do emphasize chess much earleir and much more then the US -
but agian I'm seeing a lot more interest from youth in the USA then when I was a kid.
I started in 1959
Back then chess was tedious -no computers,no auto-play. just books and boards
Well, dumb dumb, it surely seemed that milagro was implying that more Russian and Eastern Europeans were among the ranks of professionals. Is that not the case? Regardless, there are always some who play/practice more than others and, of course, your claim that "all professionals play all the time" can not be literally true.
If it is true that participation in the US is increasing then we will see more from the USA soon.

Understood.
Not just reporters but everyone, including our military.
I heard a radio interview with a U.S. military officer that was stationed in Saudi Arabia.
Her commander gave her the orders. But she disobeyed them, on basis of U.S. military regulations, which specify what kind of head-cover must be worn with the fatigue uniform.
There were additional issues about her driving herself. The Saudis wanted her to be chauffeured by a male.
Too dam bad.

I already covered that. Eastern Europe and Russia simply value chess more.
During the Soviet Union it was a policy to encourage the proletariate to play.
When you get to the pro level though-chess masters are fairly evenly distributed -the US
has quite a few now for a long time. Paul Morphy back in the 1800's and Fischer .
But there are scads in the USA, and grandmasters all over the world..
Certainely a lot more equal distribution then back the in the 1950 when the USSR churned out Tal, Biotvinnikik,Taimanov and so many more i've forgotten besides Spassky.
It was the golden age of Russian chess..
what's new in the US is not the amount of GM's -
it's the fact women's league is becoming popular and competitive. The Polgars live in the USA now.
China is now producing world class players
