    Ms. Shohreh Bayat is one of the true class acts of chess, and my goodness it hasn't been easy for her!

    Congratulations Shohreh from all your Canadian friends!

    I have researched her story and it has indeed been hard for her. She couldn't return to her Islamic homeland because she was caught officiating without a hijab.
