    No. First of all Chess has nothing to do with being smart in any sense I would use the word.
    Otherwise a Raspberry Pi would outsmart all of humanity.

    Secondly, it’s much more similar to why the Faroe Islands can’t compete in soccer with France.
    Nothing suggests they have less natural talent for soccer (and it’s quite popular there), but there’s just 1/1000 the number of players to draw from.
