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.

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.

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.
