There is a direct reason why fast-food, fast-thinking and fast-actions and violence and crime and no culture and mega-nationalism has something to do with chess. US is capitalism. the idea behind capitalism is to make anything that difficult that the inhabitants give up or have to refute to understand it. this is the best way to implant/produce a turbo-captalism. us shows in the best way that it works. of course in when the people give up to think, they do not play chess very much and not so good. udssr was the diametral thing. they wanted to kill analphabetism and therefore used chess as vehicle to teach even the poorest people about chess. since the one nation has many good chess players, and the opposite system people not, you can see that culture and political system result in different abilities to play chess. therefore my : coke, fast-food, dump-action movies post was not far away from the reason since fast-food, action-movies and violence and a high readiness to violence is just part of what is called: capitalism. and capitalism is the opposite of communism. and therefore the opposite relation of chess strength to inhabitants is happen in us than in udssr.
