One thing you don’t hear about much these days is chess tournaments.
RE: One thing you dont hear about much these days is chess tournaments.
In Chess, the USA has 3 of the top 10 best players in the world.
Wesley So — Filipino of Chinese ancestry
Fabiano Caruana — Italian descent
Hikaru Nakamura — you can guess his ethnicity from the name.
Nothing about that picture is surprising and anybody who says it “doesn’t look like America” can pound sand.
>One thing you dont hear about much these days is chess tournaments.
I used to coach a chess club at my high school.
It was going fine until a gay student used the opportunity to hit on all the other players. Now I don’t coach chess anymore.
Achievement was allowed to happen. The Best were allowed to be the Best.
We should be glad that the US team is doing so well and not get distracted with nonsensical, irrelevant issues.
Men and boys tend to be better than females in some things, like math.
There are other things, at which girls and women are better.
But there are a few exceptions for both, but you cannot and should not force things.
Madam Curie was an outstanding scientist, as an example.
And many excellent chefs are men.
Nothing surprising about that picture, either. And anybody who says it “doesn’t look like America” can pound sand.
Rosalin Franklin was also an outstanding scientist. She first photographed DNA and her photographs were shown - without her permission - to Crick and Watson. They won the Nobel for publishing a description of the structure of DNA that they saw in *her* photographs.
Did the bishop jump the queen?
Other astonishing news;
ZERO Koreans playing for LA Lakers..!
So what? They were consistently proving they were the best.
Next year different people will prove they are the best to send.
Libtards socialists say it doesnt matter skin color or gender, so shut the fuch up, it doesn’t matter they are all men and no blacks or hispanics or indians are there. The best is the best. and they all repeatedly earned their places there.
Only time you hear about chess is when they all focus on one of the few women who can be ranked high enough to play and beat the men.
That is a HORRIBLE photo. I worked as their photographer for 35 years, but was not allowed to ONE Olympic Games. I still wonder why. My work was far better than that piece of crap.
How unfair! I hope they are adding 10 points for brown skin, adding 20 points for black skin, deducting 25 points for Asian ancestry, deducting 50 points for being white, and deducting 100 points for red hair.
Wow, and per the article the girls’ math team won first place a few weeks ago:
Emma Qin
Ishika Shah
Janabel Xia
Catherine Wu
Meghal Gupta
Rachel Zhang
Similar ethnic composition. Great pic of them with the flag and even a very American looking hamburger figurine!

Asians must really know their gazinta’s.
