The country breeding a generation of chess whizz kids

  Warning: Controversial opinion ... In a world that has the game of Go, I don't understand why countries continue to push chess. As a game, Go is far superior. I'd love to see a proper study of colateral and transferable skills from chess versus Go, I'd even be happy to discover that my intuition is wrong, but I'd be really interested to get proper, unbiased, objective data. But Go is superior to chess. </rant>

    In terms of education, universal education in Chess reminds me of teaching all 5-8 year olds the recorder instead of cello. Mathematically, Magic the Gathering is Turing Complete, surely that is better because it helps software eat the world. Anyway, Futbol is superior to Go. A non-controversial opinion reflected in the way people vote with their feet (pun intended).
