Your move, bitches.
 
So when they were comparing the people from Jewland and the people from "Asia".......🙄 I'm sorry, I'm too tired for this

Try not to get your panties in a knot about it.

I've never heard of the Jewish part, but I know they've compared the IQ of Asians (as in East Asians), Caucasians, Hispanics, and Blacks. The racial categories aren't perfect, but I think most people have a general idea of what they mean.

This would be a totally useful if the concept of "race" weren't utter and total bull****.

you are saying that Azerbaijan is better based on average rating?

2008 chess olympiad
Armenia 1st place
Azerbaijan 6th

2006 chess olympiad
Armenia 1st place
Azerbaijan 24th

also in 2008 chess olympiad Armenia beat Azerbaijan
Armenia is 2 time defending champion and till they get beat they are the best
 
Teimour Radjabov owned Casparov when he was 15 🙂
PS Casparov grow up in Baku.

beating Kasparov once when he was at the end of his career doesn't prove anything
also Kasparov was born to a Jewish father and Armenian mother, so I would call him half Armenia and half Jewish

also what does Kasparov have to do with the today chess
and Aronian owned Radjabov at last olympiad

There is big difference when 15 years old beats KASPAROV and two equal players.

Mamedyarov, Shakhriyar AZE +7

well for one this is the link to latest fide ratings http://ratings.fide.com/top.phtml?list=men
where u can see aronian is rated higher then any Azerbaijani player, 4 armenians in top 100 and 3 azerbajianis

also while Azerbaijan won the euro tourney, they did lose to the Armenians in that tourney
and i still would take being world champion twice in a row over being euro champion

Azeri 3 players all are in top 20, most of the Armenian are in low 100s, but anyway I really don`t want to dispute about it, both thse counties are doing well.
 
What countries have the smartest people

Here is some data:

The chess players ranking
1 Russia
2Ukraine
3China
4Israel
5 Azerbaijan(!)
6 US
7Armenia(!)
8 Hungary
9France
10 India

The above sated countires have the best players. The population of Armenia is somewhere around 2 million, on the other hand India and China have 1 Billion each.

Here is data on international programming contest.

1) Saint Petersburg University of Infotmation Tech
2)Stanford
3)University Of Warsaw
4)Shanghai Jiao Tong U
5) Saint Petersburg state University

I wish I got the memo that playing chess and programming have become the new standards for intelligence. Oh wait! They're not. Moving on...
