'We won't wear hijabs': Chess queens threaten to boycott world championships in Iran after being told they MUST wear Islamic headscarfs
The Daily Mail reporting on women chess players being told they must wear hijabs to attend a chess tournament in Iran, or something
My eyes were more drawn to US women's champion, Nazi Paikidze's name. Lol

Sniffle and sneeze a lot,
to distract your opponent.
(Edit: Doesn't work on the internet though, unless your sneeze is particularly loud)

Are you wearing a hijab?
Or is it pants only day?

There's a quote attributed to
Federigo De Montefeltro, the Duke of Urbino in the c15th, to the effect that you should never be overly impressed by a man who's very good at chess, because it just proves that he couldn't find anything better to spend his time on.
