1552 chess grandmasters in world . THREE ARE BLACK. Are white supremacists right?

[Darth Omar]

Still waiting for the white-haters to explain why only .2% of grandmasters are black.!!!! Hell africa alone has a billion blacks.

You're an idiot.

[cawacko]

i do notice noone ever tries to refute your topics.

Refute that he thinks blacks are inferior? You seem to be in agreement with him

no. noone is refuting that 3/1552 grandmasters are black or providing an explanation for it.

And why should anyone respond to what he wrote? Blacks are inferior at everything but sports? Really?

maybe they just dont like chess?

[cawacko]

maybe they just dont like chess?

who gives a sh*t? The question doesn't deserve a response.

maybe they just dont like chess?

could be? or maybe they haven't had the benefit of scholastic exposure that is common in Europe, and more common here now.


A Ugandan girl sees her world rapidly change after being introduced to the game of chess.

There is a scholastic chess club near me..boys and girls of all races, and ages all playing competitive chess.
It's extremely humbling to lose to a grade schooler! lol..but they have young nimble minds.
My chess is still there, but it's stale,and face it as you get older the old noggin does atrophy .

Nobody cares about race-the love of the game is all that matters.

if you want to defeat an ideology you have to confront and its arguments instead of shutting it down

While there are a variety of needs to be addressed, it was heart-warming to see the Kasparov Chess Foundation Africa and Sports Outreach Kenya working together to bring the mind-nourishing benefits of chess to children who could most benefit from the game. The rest of my journey to South Africa and Madagascar only confirmed the urgency of the aid needed in various countries.

It was while at the Olympiad less than two months later that I was appalled to see the lack of competitive play of most of the African teams. I found myself surrounded by players who had a deep passion for chess, but who lacked the resources and infrastructure necessary to compete at the highest levels of the game.

The geopolitical stratification of the planet was essentially on full display at the tournament. Poorer countries don’t attract Grandmasters or top trainers to help enhance their chess culture nor do they have the resources required for high-end laptops and software that are simply essential to compete. While it was awesome to witness the team from South Sudan tying with the Bulgarian team led by none other than Veselin Topalov, this sort of result was very much the exception rather than the rule.

I was left with no doubt in my mind that many African teams had the talent and drive to succeed in spades, but the question was what to do about the problem of enhanced training. I spent more time with Graham, who was volunteering for Team Ghana at the Olympiad, and we began to fashion a plan that made sense…if only we had the funding.

Africans game of strategy is Oware. It is international and there are Grandmasters. Different culture. I am really sure what the point of this thread is.

[Tarpon]

Why is it blacks fail at everything except sports.? I'm not a white supremacist but i am a black inferiorist. You have to be or you're an idiot.

Ask an African American who plays baseball, football or basketball and makes from 5 to 25 million dollars year how important chess is
