If anyone wants to play in Iran drop me a line. I'm friends with the president of their federation, and he'll sort any visa/accommodation issues. They do seem keen to have foreigners play in events (preumeably to get over the #countries threshold) for norms, etc.

Can you clear up for us whether the federation was terribly misrepresented, and was in fact following a direct order from the Guardian Council in banning Dorsa?
Can you also tell us, if we're to believe your friend when he says he can magic up visas for us at 10 days' notice because they're so keen to attract foreigners, why there's no trace of this event (or seemingly, any future events at all) on the English version of the federation's website?

I don't know what Iran's policy on that sort of thing is, but maybe they only publish official tournaments, rather than third-party tournaments?Chris Wardle wrote: ↑Sun Apr 01, 2018 12:31 pmCan you also tell us, if we're to believe your friend when he says he can magic up visas for us at 10 days' notice because they're so keen to attract foreigners, why there's no trace of this event (or seemingly, any future events at all) on the English version of the federation's website?
If you want some sort of assurance that the tournament is going ahead, then just look up the list of registered tournaments on the FIDE website.

Choose Iran, and you can find this: https://ratings.fide.com/tournament_det ... ent=183873
The Chief Arbiter seems to have been involved with a number of events in Fars, where this is being played. So there seem to be no reason to suspect its integrity.

Oh, I don't doubt that some Iranians are organising a tournament in Iran. What I don't believe is that those Iranians should be trusted when they say "sure it'll be grand, just turn up at the airport". Not because I distrust Iranians in general, but because these particular Iranians seem not to have taken foreign entrants into account in any way.
