>The question should be what made the russian players stronger in wastern chess >or what makes small countries like Israel relatively strong in wastern chess Let's remeber history: one century ago the nation with the highest percentage of players in a a national federation was US. After the revolution Lenin introduced Chess in the school, and in a few decades USSR was the first. That made the difference. I don't know if there were other places where chess was used as s teaching tool, but for sure teaching it in a scientific fashion did the job. Of course large numbers helped too. regards Franz
