Magnus is Scandinavian, Bobby Fischer was Jewish, Kasparov was armenian and Jewish, Hikaru is Indian or something I think.

It’s because Russia only recruits people with top genetics
Americans are the leftovers of Europe, they are mostly descendant from the religious nutjobs who were kicked out of Europe

Bobby Fischer had the best pattern recognition in history if I remember correctly. Guess what he thought of the tribe?

This might also be because russia was under the feudal system for a very long time

the USSR caused this

other countries did not support chess nearly as much as the USSR

chess also has very little overlap with something like iq. they do have high iqs on average though so that point works against me

Chess ability correlates with arithmetic and mathematical abilities.

i've not done proper studies on that but i'm guessing the correlation is small & in elite players the correlation drops to near 0

How? In what world?
because i've seen interviews with grandmasters and i believe every single one of them said they were either average or below average. i remember hikaru especially saying that he did terrible (in the c range or something)

sure, the sample size is not big, but your correlation would suggest at least something noteworthy

what i mean by the math correlation with chess skill being near zero at elite levels is that math skills most likely help in the beginner stages. players rated from about 0 to 1600 elo do not have many patterns stored, so they compute positions like a math problem instead of using tactical or strategic pattern knowledge. at a high level (around 2400 and above) it is mostly patterns, which does not require anything other than dedication, assuming you have the baseline talent

---------------------------------------
now, from here and below i will be citing studies. everything prior was speculation


this study said the correlation was moderate. it also noted that the higher a player’s rating was, the lower the correlation became, which matches what i mentioned above.


this study shows that the most important factor for both fast and slow chess is pattern recognition, and that slow and fast chess skill are closely linked. this makes me wonder: if pattern recognition is the main reason, then why is iq not heavily impacted?

the explanation i found is that it is domain specific and relies on long-term memory rather than iq-style reasoning. this reduces the reliance on iq even further, lowering the overall barrier. since the barrier is low and a large portion of the population is average, no strong correlation would appear
 
Average russian iq is above 100 (103), I don't have much else to add
 
Russians grow out of a harsher, deeper civilizational substrate that has more tragedy, more hardship, more metaphysics & more abstraction compared to the West.

They never fully severed from the ‘serious’ mode of consciousness. That’s why they consistently produce elite minds in math, physics, chess, literature, music etc.
Their culture forces interiority and long-arc thinking in a way the West doesn’t anymore.

And most(99.9992%) are the latter. Russia is the subhuman central of Europe looks-wise

I've been saying that Russia is a good geomaxxing choice because their men are all turborecessed m@nlets. The only problem is that if you reproduce with a russian girl your son will be ultra-recessed with no facial bones. It has its ups and downs for sure.
