Walter.
I am getting the feeling you are so insecure of your beliefs that you are not comfortable just practicing them in your life. Do you need everyone else to share your beliefs to feel worthy or can the rest of society believe what it wants as long as it isn't harming you?

and what's your point?


Susan Polgar, the Hungarian-born American Grandmaster and chair of Fide’s Commission for Women’s Chess, responded by defending the federation and saying women should respect “cultural differences”.

She said: “I have travelled to nearly 60 countries. When I visited different places with different cultures, I like to show my respect by dressing up in their traditional style of clothing. No one asked me to do it. I just do it out of respect.

“I personally would have no issues with wearing a head scarf (hijab) as long as it is the same to all players. I believe the organisers provided beautiful choices for past participants of Women’s Grand Prix.

“I cannot speak on behalf of others but from my personal conversations with various players in the past year, they had no real issues with it.

“If any player has a problem with it, she can and should voice her opinion to the Commission for Women’s Chess or Fide and we can address it in our next meeting.”
