India is the home of the old meme "he's over qualified for blue collar so has to drive a taxi" because indian general education is world class and a massive amount of Indians go into further study. Of course that doesn't explain exactly why india people are good at chess but explains a little.
Indian education is awful
indian education is strict but extremely effective
yes extremely effective at making people stupid
I just will never understand why people think we are so good, I cant even play well against the scotch.
You don’t speak for the entire country.

Nobody speaks for an entire country. What is your point even!?

Neethtuda says “ I just will never understand why people think we are so good, I cant even play well against the scotch.” He’s basing Indian chess players abilities on his play against the scotch.
I think there are 2 reasons why Indians are good at chess -
1) The population - There are more than a billion people there, so naturally a fraction of them will be interested in chess.
2) The influence - There are a lot of Indian Grandmasters and the government values a game such as chess, such things influence people.
I don't think that really explains why Indians are better than him at chess even though they have around the same rating, although that does explain why so many Indians play chess. Tbh, I dont even look at the flag of the person who is playing because it really doesn't matter. (imo)
It could be that some Indians have not really been introduced to chess and are prodigies and are underrated🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

ouch my attempt to speak with good grammar
86 I'll explain it in a different way. Hypothetically, let's say 10% of chess players are good at chess. Now if you take the population of a country like Finland, there will probably be a few hundred thousand chess players, and only a few thousand will be good at chess. But if you take a country like India, the no of chess players is prob in millions, so a few hundred thousand will be good at chess. So even if the percentage stays the same, the number is more because of the size of population.
I am from india and I am no good
probably wrong but in the game go since it was invented in asia its dominated by asian players because they grew up with it in their culture. One could say the same thing for chess.
Because the are intelligent
Historical reason, some countries love chess like the Philippines, Iran, India :
The game was introduced to southern Europe in the tenth century by the Arabs, but it is not known where exactly it was invented. It derives from shatranj or chatrang, which is itself the Persian version of chaturanga from classical India. The current rules were established at the end of the 15th century. Chess is one of the most popular puzzle games in the world.
The US is not great despite a large population but they had Bobby Fischer the best player of all time who did the imposssible in beating the Russian armada for the first time in 1972.

This is the most childish back and forth about India’s education system I’ve seen
In daily chess India has 61 players with a rating of 2000 and over and USA has an amazing 617 players with a ratiing of 2000 and over.
chess dot com ratings isn't something that should be taken seriously into account.
India has 84 native Grandmasters, while more than 50% of the 106 US Grandmasters are imported from other countries.
But I agree on principle: USA has the best players money can buy.
All these reasons aside, Indians are good at chess because chess is popular in India. Smart or not, someone raised by indian parents to be a chess player will be a good chess player...
