>top 1 kept losing to Indians

>>714693702
They invented the game it would be pretty shameful if they didnt have at least a couple good players out of a billion people.

>>714693013
The top ranked white American is ranked #54. I checked all the Americans and all the other top ones are of immigrant backgrounds and not white till Sam Shankland at #54

chess is the perfect game

Chess is a solved problem. Stockfish ranking is over 3600

>>714692343 (OP)
why the surprising lack of east asians?
too busy playing go or shogi or whatever?

>>714695039
>move piece
>opponent takes it with a bishop you didn't notice
>no option to undo, piece stolen
Great "game" design

>Chess
Ah yes the game zoomers now love because it's the only thing they can play online for free without shoving a billion ads in their face.
It's still pseudo-intellectual garbage that people use to feel smarter than they are instead of doing anything actually worthwhile.
I'm sure those people feel very smart memorizing a billion positions just to get beat by a computer who can memorize more.
The 2nd guy probably feels like he wasted his life with how much of a complete bitter faggot he is.

the public has always liked chess, you have been able to play it in some bars, some strip clubs and parks with random people for decades.
Its always been up there with cards and dice for random shit to play with strangers.

>Have more pieces and points than my opponent
>Draw because my opponent is so stupid all his pieces are in places they can't move

>>714692343 (OP)
For me, it's Wesley So.

>>714697876
It goes in and out of favor was widely considered a nerdy hobby. Zoomer generation loves it for the reason previously stated. Only people playing it in public were old fucks because their generation liked it or sharks trying to scam money from people who thought they were smart betting money on a game they barely know.

Chess is midwit game, that attracts plenty of pseudo-intellectual. All of these 190IQ+ grandmasters are just retard if it comes to something usefull. Perfect example is Garry Kasparov. Guy is total retard when it comes to politics. Same goes for other topics. So no wonder there are jeetgrandmasters out of their gazillion population

>>714699180
>politics
lmao, kys

>>714694437
why do the english suck at socker then?

>Chess is midwit game
agreed, boring game unlike mahjong

>>714699358
What an amazing AI nonsense reply

>>714699180
It used to have some genius in it, but now its mostly study chess engines and memorize lines.

Magnusbros...

>>714700702
Nah it was always studying games and memorizing lines. The computer is just better at it than anyone because it can do it faster and longer accelerating the progression of solving the game where every like first 5-6 moves had a specific name named after a game.

Not even one woman.. Sad!

>>714702253
I would hope no women are playing in the mens league. Women get different ratings because they're only allowed to play other women.

They unironically gate keep them which is kinda funny. Not even trannies want to get put into the womens pool because they'll just get a lower number instead of easier opponents.

Chess isn't actually that popular in India, it's mostly played by the less populated south even though proto-chess was invented in the north. In the north they prefer Ludo or Pachisi

>>714692343 (OP)
Not a single russian? Weren't they notorious for being among the best players in the world? Some ranking as number 1, in fact. Let's see the january 2022 ranking before russians got banned from the world

>>714704797
There you go, called it

>>714702253
Almost no women can compete with men intellectually; there's a reason women generally play separately from men.

lol implying good at chess = all around smart

>>714692343 (OP)
doesnt this prove that chess is not a real indication for intelligence? its like being good at football, it serves absolutely no purpose. i bet if you put magnus back 2000 years on a battlefield with 4 legions he would get his ass kicked by the gauls

>>714707261
>Top players are belligerent drunks and indians
Gee what do you think? It's basically fantasy football for noblemen in the middle ages with retarded rules that just survived long enough to get written down.
