Why are players from india so good

India is home to the Flying Fox fruit bat. It is a fact, that nations with populations of huge bats (the flying Fox weighs over 3 pounds), also have a large number of excellent chess players. Inspired by bats hanging upside down, clinging to trees and other structures by their massive, clawed feet, Indian players emulate the bat by hanging upside down in homes and gardens. This unusual training regime stimulates chess thought by assisting blood flow to those parts of the brain associated with the game. Recently, Park personnel at the Lohdi Park in New Delhi were seen using large brooms to shoo away local chess players hanging by their feet from trees and buildings. Some chess players had gone as far as cosplaying fruit bats by wrapping themselves in locally purchased cloth making themselves appear as if they were wrapped in their very own pair of leathery batwings. This increased commitment to the game has done much to elevate the playing strength of India in relation to other, non-bat emulating nations.

Too much racism occurs in such topics like this (sighs)

haha, nice sarcastic joke......

well if you wander through India, you find them sitting cross legged under trees, by the side of the road, in temples, lot of people there living the life of Reilly.

with all that contemplation going on, they realised it would come in handy for chess.

naw man i am only joking.

it’s because fishy anand became the Indian world champion and they suddenly realised Indians could make it to the top.

Wym explain

Chess Ace,the Times of India just reported that cosplaying fruit bats is all the rage among Indian chess players. Nobody debates the benefits of inversion therapy, and by taking their cue from fruit bats, Indian chess players have just taken it further. Furthermore there are reports of a new chess training regime wherein Indian players make a boiling, ultra-hot and spicy version of curry, and then consume it . It is said to be a training aid for concentration, trying to appear serene as your insides melt and you void your bowels , all while the chess club membership mocks your defecating form twitching on the floor. Later at the hospital everyone enjoys the latest chess opening's software.

lmao I thought you were serious for a second. I don't get why ppl think it's so deep, chess is just a fun game and Anand ofc and the new grandmasters are a huge influence.

... and fruit bats.

Just come to Kolkata or Mumbai, both Tier-1 cities and you'll see huge heaps of garbage dumps lining the roadside. Keek!

chess was found on a crashed ufo.

last time I went to india, i got sick cuz of the bad air

Peria and India go to war over who had greater influence on the development of chess---the British Empire stops by and introduces itself to both.

im not tryna hate on india (i was born there), its just i dont like it that much

I suspect its because their food isn't laced with toxic chemicals and non nutritious fillers like American food. Just imagine how high ratings might soar if we stopped eating Doritos and washing them down with Diet Mountain Dew.

One of the best things about india is how good thier food is. veryy yummy but if u dont like spicyfood maybe not as yummy
