I saw one of David Llada's photos of her today.
Black hijab with a chessboard pattern neck scarf.

Japan doesn't force western women into kimonos or religious garb, but if they did then of course I would complain.
She's gorgeous...

Argentina's number one player Carolina Lujan on why she's not participating.
"The mandatory use of hijab do not seem to me that this is a simple dress code, it means a lot and for my beliefs, beliefs and values. I'm not ready to be forced to use it. Also, due to the misinformation that is on their culture, a possible confusion could send us to jail or worse."

It's not that western societies don't have their own dress codes and restrictions. Have you ever tried to open a bank account nakedly? Or to play in a chess open?
Nah, I am too old fashioned for this internet thing...

Perhaps as a protest, at the next tournament all participants could turn up in fancy dress - maybe Vicars and Tarts.
I doubt if Iran would care much but it'd be a laugh

In what way is this video good? I stopped watching it after he introduced the players as: "Geniuses! The smartest women you're ever going to meet!"
That's just a load of rubbish isn't it?
Can somebody locate her here?

I don't know, they all kind of look the same in hijabs.
