ok, then you didn't quote correctly. No problem for me.
How do you quote correctly? I'm new to doing stuff on the forums.

click on the quote-botton and then the quoted text will be put into a box. If you write there without marking your text as yours people don't know what is your text and what the quoted text. The best would be adding your text outside the quote-box which can be tricky here due to the way the quoting is implemented here.

If chess was more of a thing in China, they would take over the chess world. There are two races that you excel at any mental undertaking. Sino and Hebrew. Now only one of these cultures has really gotten into chess. In Russia, nearly half of all Grandmasters were of Jewish descent. The best ones, Botvinnik, Tal, Geller, all of them Jewish. It is an anomaly that 8 world champions were possible Jews. Steinitz, Lasker, Botvinnik, Tal, Petrosian, Spassky, Fischer, and Kasparov. If the Chinese were to ever "get into" the game, it would be just the same.
Fischer was actually sorta anti-sematic, so........
Wow, guess sir isaac newton and a whole lot of ethnic european scientists didn't get that memo. Pretty sure those dumb euro neanderthals somehow managed to conquer the whole world, usher in the industrial revolution and bring about the modern world we live in.

Sorry, but this is what he meant....FACT: most of the people that really contributed greatly to humanity are white Europeans far more than a percentage of their populace would predict:

^^ Nonsense
They contributed greatly to their society.
Contributed little to other societies.
The information age was a long way off.
