Think what you want. I’ve been in chess over 40 years. I know what I know and make no excuses. In chess, boys are better than girls, and blacks are not as good as Chinese, Indians, Europeans. I know you can’t accept what I’m saying. You simply can’t comprehend that some races have different strengths and weaknesses than others.
It's got nothing to do with accepting what you're saying. It's got to do with you could make things better if you just... shut up. Instead, we get juneteenth because people like you just can't refrain from telling everyone your opinion and acting it out in real life.
Would you say this is the same reasoning for women weakness vs men at chess? Do you consider them of inferior intelligence to men as you do with different races? I believe chess has been predominantly a privileged white men game. No women, no black people, really fitted in for centuries, with some exceptions.
I don’t act out anything. I’m telling you my opinion because you engaged me for my opinion. So you shut the fuck up. Put me on ignore if you can’t handle the truth.
Women are more intelligent than men. That’s been my life experience. They’re just not as good as men at chess. We live now in the Information Age. There are no more secrets of the Soviet chess school. Chess engines have proven humans are not as good at chess as we thought.
Ok, we agree on this. Because chess is not about intelligence. Memorization and strategies may rely more heavily on spatial processing than on logic. Also, chess requires financial backing, opportunites and time for training. Historically, not everyone has had this luxury. For the same reason, in my opinion chess can not be used as a meter/standard for anything.
For my entertainment, I try to guess the staying power of ET threads. i.e. number of responses etc. I predicted a lack of interest in this thread and was wrong. Best is if I stick to technical analysis of stocks.
Mind makes action. You want me to believe you are out here saying "black people aren't good at chess" and you DON'T act it out in real life? LOL. Shut the fuck up with your bullshit.
Chess requires calculation, memorization, determination, dedication. Scholastic chess requires much less financial backing than scholastic sports. Why don’t people argue that it’s racist to say that Far East Asian kids aren’t as good as the black kids in high school football and basketball? Like it or not, chess is used as a metric in college admissions at the top schools. I’ve seen too many examples to think otherwise.
