It is a great sacrifice and I absolutely supper her.

Just maybe it would get more media attention if she was physically there and refused to play in abaya or the "high-necked white blouses" nonsense.

Also, where is the solidarity form champions like Magnus Carlsen?

Solidarity is one thing. $2,000,000 is another.

you can't expect people to sacrifice so much. the two issue is the people who decided to organize the event there

Really!!

[reacharavindh]

This is a great moment to show solidarity in the face to stupid and backward policies. I sincerely hope the great minds choose to boycott this tournament and support a meaningful cause.

[reitanqild]

Boycotting this tournament should be a no-brainer.

[gumby]

Yes indeed! It seems the people down voting my comment don’t agree.

[scott_karana]

I read your post as objecting, not agreeing. Perhaps others have the same confusion.

Thanks. May be a cultural thing.
