  The fact of the matter is most of the great chess players are Jewish.  There
have been whole books written on that subject.  Don't ask me how to explain how
less than 1% of the world's population can achieve such succcess in so many
fields but it's a fact.  I'm not Jewish and I'm not offended by the success of
so many that are.  In this politically correct world we live in now everyone is
a victim or has to explain everything so nobody gets any hurt feelings.  If one
can't even mention a grandmaster without someone shouting racist they need to
look at themselves.
  Weak is a relative term.  To most of the world's chess players GM Ashley is a
very strong player.  Compared to the top 20 elite he is "weak."
