I'm approached by a number of people at U.S. tournaments who present the most amazing ideas. Unfortunately, most of them are left in the dustbin of history. There is a saying that, "ideas not coupled with action are never bigger than the brain cells they once occupied." As much as we would hate to admit, this is a frequent occurrence. The defining factor will be the extent to which a common spirit can be achieved to execute these ideas.
There are many discussions about chess and its future, and Black players from around the world must enter into these debates and begin to create ideas for chess excellence. This could mean opening a chess club, becoming an International Arbiter, earning the Master's title, coaching young children, building a chess website, or becoming a tournament organizer. Only with this type of activity will we be able to reach the critical mass and keep the beat going.
