Review of revision 4558822 [Passed]
I had in mind, for the sake of clarity, to add here a list of items that made me pause. Atm I only see three of these; on a few others that I remember considering during review, what I decided on consideration was that they were fine, in which case there's not call for me to list them here.
 * You weren't living in Iran at that time. You weren't representing Iran. You had made it very clear you didn't want to play for the federation. And yet they decide to sensationalise this banning of yours?
 * &mdash; a slightly-leading question.
 * Your younger brother was also banned by the [Iranian] Chess Federation at the same tournament, playing against an Israeli Grand Master. He was fourteen. He was just a kid.
 * &mdash; a decidedly-leading question; grated on me a bit.
 * I just feel he shouldn't have been dragged into this [situation].
 * &mdash; an opinion, inviting the interviewee to agree. It did work, eliciting a useful response.

Edit
editprotected "Irani athletes have avoided playing against Israeli athletes" in the last sentence of the third paragraph should be changed to "Iranian athletes have avoided playing against Israeli athletes". Heavy Water (talk) 20:34, 1 January 2023 (UTC)


 * It is repeated again with the section heading "Her decision to not play for the Irani Chess Federation". And "Instagram" is not capitalized in the caption for the puppy image. Heavy Water (talk) 04:22, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hmm. "Iranian" is certainly more common in the parts of the English language I am familiar with, but is "Irani" wrong? See Irani. Also, please note the original author is from India. SVTCobra 02:29, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Huh, apparently it is equally standard. --Heavy Water (talk) 02:40, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The capitalization of Instagram is ✅ SVTCobra 10:59, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
