added info about chess grandmasters
Confounding [[feminists]], virtually all the best chess players are male, and only about 1% of the 1500 grandmasters are female. Only three women have ever ranked in the top 100, and none has ever been world champion against men. But females can benefit enormously from chess as males do.

Confounding [[conservatives]], many of the best chess players are from shithole socialist countries like [[Russia]], the [[Ukraine]], [[Germany]], [[Norway]] and [[India]]. Some of the most famous chess players - Garry Kasparov, Vishwanathan Anand and Magnus Carlsen are from the shitholes USSR, India and Norway respectively.
Chess emphasizes individualistic pieces, in contrast to more collectivist strategy game called "go". Chess is more hierarchical, more militaristic, and more clear-cut when someone wins. "Go", which is ancient Chinese incrementalist-type of board game, has far fewer decisive moves than in chess. "Go" tournaments feature almost entirely Asian players, while the top chess players are typically from the West or from [[India]].
