Batgirl,

I think you are right - all games with the Iranians will be lost for them. And the players will lose their memberships. Guessing that will amount to thousands of players.

Karem Shirazi (a famous IM from Iran) made a good choice years ago. He left the country and played for the US and now France. 

Maybe we'll see an indlux of players here.

The Islamic Republic tightened cyber security after its nuclear program was attacked in 2010 by the Stuxnet computer worm, which caused centrifuges to fail at its main uranium enrichment facility.

Tehran, whose nuclear programme is suspected by the West of being aimed at developing a bomb, accused the United States and Israel of deploying the worm. 

______________________________________________

Could that have caused a serious accident with many killed?

no, it could not have caused a nuclear accident - centrifuges are used to seperate uranium from other minerals.

Uranium will only explode with it is enriched and needs an implosion to detonate.

I don´t like when countries cut of 'cultural' bonds with each other. I just wonder, though: When these ties were cut of with, for example, former Jugoslavia or South Africa, were the chess players in those countries also our friends, before being banned? Did 'we' protest against there isolation?

Remember Bobby Fischer!

Goodbye to our Iranian friends.

It is very unfortunate.

lol!!

Good bye; I shall not miss ye.

Reuters is a Rothschild media outlet. In fact the entire Western mainstream media is managed to "manage" public opinion and justify military adventures and intelligence operations.

It's not even "conspiracy theory" - that catchall term that gatekeepers give to the sheeple to suppress independent thought - to acknowledge that the CIA/MI6 staged the coup that saw Mohammad Mossadegh (Iran) deposed in 1953.

Are you back again? No one seems to have missed you either.

I am back again.

Someone having missed would actually have been quite worrisome.

thanks.

And from me...

??

Oh. I thought the U.S. was going to nuke them.

hello everyones.my english isnt good and i ccouldnt read and translate all the words.but ican say there، part of my speeches

 why iran is wonderfull for the world؟everywhere writting and saying about iran .what is their porpose. – Huh?

 how can west include us and europ allowed themselves to decide for iran and middle east(The origins ofhumancivilization) – Not exactly true – The origins of the human civilizations also began in Africa (unless you consider Africa has no civilization), India, and China. You are only propagating a European centric viewpoint.

why iran should not use peaceful nuclear energy?where our leader said wars uses of it is  strictly forbidden.and it must clear from the world. - Because Iran is enriching their uranium far beyond that is necessary for nuclear energy. In fact their enrichment is typically nuclear weapons grade standard. Why would Iran invest so much time, energy, money, and time into nuclear grade enrichment, if it doesn’t plan to use it?

who are mading and using of it in worlds store their bombs and ther is wonderfull they say u shouldnt elevator your defense power! - I don’t understand this at all! Sorry, if you are going to argue with people whose primary language is English, please speak in English so we would understand you. That is your responsibility here.

when iran attack to another country? - How far do you want to go back? If Iran, as you claim, is the origin of human civilization (which is not true), you also have to acknowledge that Persia attempted to invade Greece (another one of those “origins of the human civilizations” a number of times in the past.

why u shoul know allthing as they want (their lies)-why u should not know death of 10 million iranians(from18) in 1914-1918 during biritish rules in iran for hungry? - This is an exaggeration. How are you backing up your numbers?

 u know their coups in iran history teir Conspiracy ? Sure, but other countries have had that happen to them, and don't go into terrorism. The US was helped by France during our revolutionary war. But we don't have the intolerance that matched your level. Not even close. When you finally achieved your "independence" you guys made it more intolerable with your strict, stifiling, version of Islam.  Hardly an independence. Yet, you did it and claimed "victory".

or why in 3 July 1988 iran airbus with 300 innocent passengers fell by us rockets?

when i speak with a frenchmen he only knows irans refugee and their books-why he dont know our great scholars ،who were Assassination in the Beginning of our revolution1978-their books can shake worlds like our culture، history ،poems،art ….. – this is about the time you took 52 American hostages and let the student militants hold onto them for 444 days. Don’t you remember that? You never made a move to free them until you were fearful that you might just be held accountable for them and the newly-elected president just might decide to bomb you. Imagine what grievances you might be shouting if Iranians were held for over a year in the US in the same manner.

they terroring our nuclear scientist،those Who areSilence and do it secretly! - How are you defining terroism here? Face it,  unless you have a different definition of terrorism, one for use, and another for you, you've got to admit you've done more to create terrorsim from your end, not ours. See below.

when saying islam u probably only think to terrorist and wild but do u know it? – Because you made no effort to condemn the 1993 bombing of the WTC and the attack of 2001 of the same building. The fact that you also pay the families of suicide bombers and your desire to destroy Israel (“off the face of the Earth”, I believe is what one of your politicians once said) also helps to undermine your claims that you do not support terrorism.

i really knowing good there is no mercy for iran even iranians people. – Sure. As long as your government keeps so strict interpretation Islamic law, women will shunned, shamed and unable to work from most professions. And being locked in a burqa anytime a woman goes out, is not exactly progressive, but more like slavery. At least half your population is expect to live like this. I guess that does support your claim “good there is no mercy for iran even iranians people”. But you guys are doing that to yourselves.

and better when i have use gmail and google in iran u dont  be worried about that. – I’m not worried but concerned that most Iranians would not get alternate views of the world other than what their government will tell them - The dream of despotic rulers!

Now how about some chess?

Rob

Hello there! What did you really say about that Iran Airbus, with 300 innocent passengers, blown out of the sky by an U.S. warship?

You are saying what??

@Barefoot_Player, do you believe all the fairy tales you are told by US government "officials" and the "liberal" MSM? Judging by the stories you're telling in the above comments it's quite obvious to me that you simply do "not get alternate views of the world other than what their (your!) government will tell them (you!) - The dream of despotic rulers!" Congratulations on demostrating such staggering irony and reinforcing the stereotype of Americans as brainwashed sheep who still believe in the Boogeyman.
