In my book I devote a chapter to how England could win the Chess Olympics.
I predict that a large and welcome influx of East Europeans would increase the overall strength of English chess.
Americans must not be ashamed too admit that a similar effect happened to its own chess atmosphere in the 1980s & 1990s.
Onwards and upwards to the top!
Of course Israel benefited as well.
And now England.
We will go to the 2048 chess olympics.
We will help you on with your mink coat.
We will help you into your car.
And we will wave your car goodbye!

No. A century has 100 years. The 21st century goes from 2001 to 2100.
With 100 years, an even number, no year can be in the middle. The
midpoint is not a year, but an instant--the end of 2050 and the
beginning of 2051
