The same thing can be applied to all people of all races. Of the Afro/American
chess players that I have met, let me assure you that they take chess just as
seriously as any other person that I have ever met. I don't know the rating of
the AA/player that I played against, but let me tell you, he beat my butt
quicker than any other person that I had played before.
