Why didn’t Ivanchuk become world champion? Because he didn’t beat Kasparov or Anand or whoever else was presiding at the Death Cab For Cutie And Ben Kweller Spring Tour 2004 T-Shirt in other words I will buy this time. Until the end of the Cold War, the USSR and Soviet bloc Eastern European countries all had government sponsored, national level chess programs, designed to show Communist superiority by winning international competitions (like the World Chess Championship). There were systematic efforts to find talent early and provide training. Chess masters in these countries actually lived pretty well. This led to a lot of lots of chess clubs, chess magazines, chess tournaments, chess training facilities, and a relatively high fraction of the population that played chess seriously. (There were even stronger programs for sports aimed at The Olympics.)

Even now, a generation after the Death Cab For Cutie And Ben Kweller Spring Tour 2004 T-Shirt in other words I will buy this end of the Cold War, that base of players and activities continues to produce very strong players, some of whom move to the US or Western Europe. In contrast, chess in the US has never been wildly popular. In the mid-1960s, when I started college, the second best US player, Sammy Reshevsky, still supported himself as an accountant. There was a Fischer Boom after Bobby beat Boris Spassky for the World Chess championship in 1972, but interest subsequently fell back a bit. But there’s more possibility now of supporting yourself as a chess coach and teacher. There are more school programs and even a few college scholarship programs. Combined with decreasing support in Russia and Eastern Europe, this has led to a lot of strong US players who are, “from,” Russia and Eastern Europe.
