Susan Polgar Tries and Fails to Silence US Women's Champion Paikdze in Iran Hijab Dispute

Susan Polgar, who chairs the women’s committee of the international chess governing body has tried to silence Paikidze by telling her to keep her opinions off Twitter and to take it up with FIDE and WOM. 

Paikdze responded by saying, “I already did. Thanks to Twitter this issue got a lot of attention as well.” 

“Not the right position to insult me and members of @WOMChess when we are trying to help you,” Polgar shot back. 


“Nothing of what I said was a personal insult/attack to anyone but FIDE's decision,” the young chess champion responded, showing no fear.
