Canadians are really good at chess for some reason

Why whenever I play a Canadian person I lose?

Whenever I play someone from Georgia 🇬🇪 I lose.

I know someone from Georgia, and every time we play I win 

 

Impossible. Georgians never lose.

Play @pondestroyer12309 and you will have a win against a Canadian

 

As a Canadian, I don't think Canadians are better than anyone else, and it certainly is not a popular game in Canada. I think a more practical answer is Canadians are more likely to be using and accessing predominately English based websites such as Chess.com, and often make for a high proportion of users on English websites (such as Reddit for example) due to both a high percentage of the population's use of the internet and strong English skills. Perhaps for the same reason this is why many Chess streamers are Canadian.

Nah. It’s completely random. 1000 Canadian player is no better than a 1000 Indian player, and since you are paired by rating, it should all just come out in the wash.

In an sample that is drawn randomly, especially if it is small, there will be some strange things that happen. Just like if you drop a handful of coins on the floor, they won’t be spread completely evenly. There will be some spots with no coins and some spots with five or six.

The obvious answer is that the OP just randomly happened upon a cluster of Canadians who beat him. Psychology teaches us that humans by nature look for patterns and assign causality to events that’s are essentially random.

That’s likely what happened here... unless you are playing a Georgian. 🇬🇪

It’s kind of prejudiced to say that any particular nationality is better than any other.

Let me see.  Snowed in for 6 months out of the year and you wonder why they would be good at chess.  True, some just get drunk, but others find other distractions such as chess.
