>I first met Phiona Mutesi in September 2010 sitting on the mud stoop of her family’s shack in one of the most challenging places on earth: Uganda’s Katwe slum. I had been told about Phiona; how at the age of nine she could neither read nor write and had dropped out of school, when she met a Ugandan missionary, Robert Katende, who offered to teach her the game of chess – a sport so foreign in Uganda that there is no word for it in Phiona’s native language.

A black woman from Africa is going to get a (((Hollywood))) movie made about her.
She has a FIDE rating of 1622
For those of you who don't know anything about chess, and its comparative rating system, that would be roughly the rating of a gifted, but not extraordinary 8-9 year old. And as a point of reference, the current world champion had a FIDE rating of over 2000 by the time he was 11.
I've seen some bad "WE WUZ KANGS" shit, but this just takes the fucking cake for me. There are plenty of amazing chess masters, with extremely interesting stories/lives. Mikhail Tal was probably one of the most eccentric and interesting geniuses to ever live. Alexander Alekhine was held in prison and reportedly played a game against Trotsky for his life. Emanuel Lasker was roommates with fucking Albert Einstein.
All of the great men they could have made movies about, and they choose this fucking nigress.
Kill me.

The Jew uses the black genetic outliers to promote the idea that this is the normal behavior of the negroid, to trick whites into not seeing the deranged savages in the ghettos are not the normal black people. They have always done this to justify african immigration.

>rating 1600 >after 4 years >WCM title, literally the lowest of the low titles
kek i was 1600ish when i was in the equivalent of middle school (played since 8). I haven't played competitively in a decade, but I'm sure, like any other rating system, chess ratings have inflated since then. I played plenty of kids in regional championships who were titled and had like 1700-1900s, but none of them even remotely considered themselves "prodigies", just genuinely gifted kids who were living and breathing the game.
Idk if any other chessfags want to call this bullshit out, but for comparison, pic related is rated 1935 and plays Dota 2 for a living.
Jayden Brooks
Oh shit, cool fact about Winter.
Liam Hernandez
Sadly, not many chessfags on Sup Forums, but it shouldn't take a genius to figure out that this is completely idiotic.
It would be like making a hollywood movie about a guy who gets a high-score in a video game. Not even a world-record, or even a national record... just like... a personal best.
William Davis
damn didn't know Winter is so smart

And if you compared Poglar she's been pushed into chess by her dad since she could read.

Your home computer probably ties with a grandmaster. Modern chess AIs absolutely rekt humans.
