It's not my problem that you're sh¡t at English.

If you don't post at least 5 sentences I'm not going to respond to you anymore.

You might as well be some failed Turing test bot.

Why the hell should I care? It's not like you post using more than 5 sentences yourself. In an online conversation, posts with 5 or more sentences are rare, even among adults. As for the Turing bot BS, the bot wouldn't require any real intelligence, a sufficiently advanced lstm would do. A real test of intelligence would be the ability make inferences from observations.

Wow, good job.

1 in every 100? There are 144 million Russians, so that makes 1.4 million grandmasters! Impressive since there are only about 2 thousand GM'S in the world. 

 

 I wonder how many millions of IM'S Russia has?

Hold up, let me check the graph again, the graph says it is 1 in every 10,000

One in 10 000 would mean 14 000 Russian GMs and the world total is under 2000...

The latest stats I saw were from 2013 and then Iceland had close to 4 GMs per 100 000 citizens. Russia had 0.15 GMs per 100 000 citizens. Among the post Soviet countries that was behind Armenia, Latvia, Georgia, Estonia, Lithuania, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova.
