Answer this, an Iranian woman comes to the states for the same competition and is told to take her hijab off. Do you support it?
Very simple yes or no question.
No and it would never happen.

liberals and feminist will not support this.
Muslim and their shite rules are always off limits for them, they would rather harass a Baker who does not want to create cakes for gays, than a religion, where woman are treated like dogs, and gays are killed.
Liberals scared of Muslims

A forward thinking father? What lil wussy snowflake would hit up a Nazi no matter how hot? Reserved his baby girl for Alpha males only. One daddy who doesn't have to worry about his baby doing alright once he's gone.

Boy named Sue had a sister named Tort and a half-brother named Class Action.

It's a strange thing that they decided to host the women's world chess championship in Iran. There has been a lot of controversy about it. A lot of the top women players and even the reigning world champion, Hou Yifan, aren't even participating in the tournament because of this.

Really, Nazi is not that bad of a name when you think about it. They could have been real assholes and named her National Socialist German Workers Party.

Good for her, but does there need to be a separate world championship for women? It's not like different sexes can't compete equally.
Yes. Women would not be able to compete with the men. There has only ever been one woman who was able to compete at a truly elite level and actually competed for the general classical world chess championship.
This is a controversial issue with some people claiming that women just don't have the temperament to compete at an elite level and others saying that enough women just aren't encouraged to play.

This has been discussed here before but since this has already blown up I'm guessing some of you missed it the first time around.
Tournament organizers have to honor the terms set by sponsors - that is, the people and companies who are funding the event. That's just as true in Iran as in the US or anywhere else.
In any top-level chess event there's a dress code, including the US. Most professionals show up in a suit or at the very least business casual. If you view it as "oppressive" that you can't play in a bikini, you're not likely to get invited to start with.
Part of the reason why is just advertising. The sponsors expect to be able to use photo/video as part of their own advertising to recoup their investment in the tournament.

Top level women's chess is *filled* with hot women. Part of why is that most of them are under 30 and from eastern Europe or Russia.
And yes, Nazi Paikidze married a nerd. An engineer, in fact.

I could be mistaken but I was under the impression she objected to FIDE's handling of the title more generally.

I'll never understand a culture that despises gays yet is also afraid to see a woman.

It appears you are right. I had only scanned some articles that mentioned that the controversy of having it in Iran and mentioned that she wasn't participating, and I made an assumption. You know what happens when people assume.

HY: I decided to drop out from WGP cycle after I received an unclear answer from FIDE regarding the possibility of a change in the current Women’s World Championship system. I participated in all previous cycles, since 2009, and the main reason in recent years was that the overall winner got the right to play the Women’s World Championship match. I didn’t think this was actually reasonable, but it was the only option I had. Now the situation is different. I do not see any point in taking part in the different stages only to be able to play in the WWCC, especially when the opponents usually are at least one hundred points below me. For years now I have expressed my deep dissatisfaction to FIDE about this, but they didn’t accept anything I said. So I won’t consider staying in a system with which I completely disagree.
