Feb-22-16 FIDE Women's Grand Prix Tehran (2016) 
| |
| collodi: The question I have is not why it is that Iran is requiring the foreign players to wear headscarves. The question is why the foreign players are participating in an event that does this and thus perpetuating the unequal treatment of women? |

| |
| collodi: Love the live commentary by the hosts and players, but can we retire the word "OK" for awhile, please!!! It is constantly and needlessly interjected every other second by almost all the players. |

| |
| collodi: The chess puzzle, without the column, also runs daily in the Boston Globe. Remember the days when Lyman moderated the world chess championships of the 70's + 80's live on national television? Will we ever see such coverage in the USA again? |

| collodi: Congratulations to Irina!!! Look at that million dollar adorable smile at www.uswcc.2007.com Every chess journalist should bombard the news agencies across the country with the news + that photo!! Isn't that a better role model for young gals than all the other bimbo + celeb models ... |
