I be chessin’ out here!
Did you know that the hottest new chess prodigy making waves world-wide is actually an evolutionary dead-end from Uganda?
Weird, isn’t it?
Disney has even made a movie about it!
Looks like it’s going to be very inspirational.
Just one little problem though: the she-boon isn’t actually good at chess.
Of course, that’s a minor detail for Hollywood and the media.
The wider media has been quick to herald Phiona Mutesi a chess “prodigy.” She certainly faced odds, too: Born into poverty in Uganda, a young girl, learning and then competing in the world’s most competitive and ubiquitous board game. What are the odds? It’s a heart warming, underdog story. It even inspired a movie.
The only problem is it’s not really true.
What? You’re saying this majestic creature can’t be a chess genius?
The Disney movie “Queen of Katwe,” set for U.S. release Sept. 30, describes Mutesi’s meteoric rise from despair in the slums just outside Uganda’s capital to an international figure of prominence, indeed even a “Woman Candidate Master,” (WCM) on the chess scene. But the mythology surrounding her actual performance has reached such heights that chess grandmasters are coming out to weigh in.
So beautiful. I cry evertiem.
They tell The Daily Caller News Foundation her chess performance is no better than an average club player, and that the award is essentially little more than symbolism.
As one grandmaster noted bluntly, “Let me not mince words: by a purely objective standard, Phiona is not a strong chess player; she is equivalent to a weak-to-average club player (class C or B in the U.S.).”
Let me get this straight: they made a crap-tier chess player a celebrity because she’s a google – and a woman.
Surely you jest.
By 2012, the World Chess Federation (FIDE) awarded Mutesi the WCM, the lowest-ranked title, following her performance in the 40th Chess Olympiad in Istanbul. Normally, the WCM title requires that recipients reach—at least once in their career—a rating of 2000, according to the FIDE title handbook.
Her Elo rating at the time was 1686, a massive gap from the required 2000, but it seems as though FIDE officials granted her the title based on her performance at Istanbul.
Wow, these chess geeks even have power levels, like in Dragon Ball.
It’s under 9000! Way, way below 9000!
And yet, in spite of these autistically precise measurement methods for a chess player’s ability, the media has managed to completely misrepresent this dindu’s worth.
Newsweek, the Associated Press and The Daily Beast all referred to her as a “chess prodigy.” The L.A. Weekly goes so far as to title its piece, “A Ugandan Grandmaster Emerges in Mira Nair’s Disney Charmer Queen of Katwe,” and says she exhibits the signs of a “budding grandmaster.”
Vogue describes her as an “international chess master.” Consequence of Sound states in a review of the movie, “At first Phiona seems like a slow learner, but over time she reveals the makings of another Bobby Fischer.”
LOL!
Bobby Fischer is an interesting character. If you scrape the annals of history for a “good Jew,” this might be the only example you could come up with.
He was a chess genius.
And he really, really hated the skypes.
Here are choice quotes:
He wasn’t called a genius for nothing!
Fischer single-handedly set the standard for being considered a “good Jew”; he denied the holocaust, revealed all Jews being liars and thieves, and called for their collective annihilation.
I sure hope this Ugandan google shows “the makings of a new Bobby Fischer!”
If so, she’ll start calling for the mass-sterilization of Blacks in Africa.
As far as I know, however, this hasn’t happened yet. So I don’t know what they’re on about.
If this “Phiona” pulls a Bobby Fischer, though, I’ll endorse her as queen of Africa.
Not holding my breath.
