Why are almost all of the really good chess players Russian?

Russians have genius IQ. Russia was supposed to be the next centre of civilisation.

NO PLS NO, NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN

I guess because a chessboard was the only source of entertainment for many Russians.

It's not the cold war anymore, Russian domination in chess is something of the past.

5 out of 20 is pretty solid.
Also soon it will be filled with China and India.

Widespread autism. Chess isn't about thinking but memorizing past games and thus as many paths forward as possible like an idiot savant.

In that case, Finns would be good at chess, but we don't see any in ratings

Since there are much more games/positions than atoms in universe, that approach will not be fruitful.

Kek.
But more seriously; is chess a more integral part of your culture?

Not bigger than some shitty carate or tennis. Most or them aren't Russians but "Russian" minorities.
Overall it's just a good Soviet school, but now it's slowly dieing

in other countries there are more interesting things to do than drinking, krokodil or chess playing

E.g.?

>undisputed world champion for 26 years

Emmanuel Lasker is the god of Chess

cheap running away from reality from soviet times

Huh?

Since when did Norwegians, Armenians, Jews, Indians and Azerbaijanis become Russians?

stealing cars, cleaning toilets and whoring out your daughter to westerners

>when he gets tired of getting wrecked by Capablanca so he starts to wreck him back while being an old fuck
absolute madlad

>but now it's slowly dieing
Like everything in the west, even out ethnicities, slowly dying.
It.
Is.
A travesty.

I wonder how our ancestors would have thought, had they seen what the world would look like today.
Probably would have played cards at Stalingrad and come back to their respective homelands, fucking the damaging influences up to hell and back.
Cheers and a good night.

for example in germany they like sucking wet russian pipes

>being a whore in Germany
>to suck Russian cock
the Polish way of life

They just win in winter.

aren't there many grandmasters though ? isn't it a rank rather than a title ?

t. German minority from Poland

Because they are cheap to teach

Cold outside I guess
