Old talk

Is Ashley given the grandmaster rating only by the American International society? Trekphiler 19:39, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's a FIDE title. See http://www.fide.com/ratings/card.phtml?event=2001012. 71.82.170.150 07:03, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maurice Ashley Teaches Chess

Is anyone going to write anything about the Windows 95/98 game, Maurice Ashley Teaches Chess? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.53.178.16 (talk) 20:21, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

Why is he listed as African-American? He's from Jamaica. Even if he has American citizenship, he would not be considered African-American, he would be Jamaican-American. The sickening political correctness of this website and Western society in general has painted you into a corner. You're just going to have to call him black (gasps in horror) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FB90:2B03:DD35:21A:73FF:FE07:74AC (talk) 00:21, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

shall we mention (if true) retirement in 2003?

'In 2002, Ashley scored one of his top career wins by defeating GM Larry Christiansen at the Foxwoods Open (below). After the 2003 U.S. Championship, the only time he played in the event, Ashley retired from competitive chess. However, he has stayed actively involved in the community and remains so to this day.' https://www.chess.com/players/maurice-ashley Thewriter006 (talk) 07:26, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
